Looking for a different way to experience Salem? Step inside the historic Hawthorne Hotel for an afternoon of creativity, conversation, games, and a little Salem magic.

The Enchanted Salem Social Experience is a three-hour hosted social event for adults 21+ designed especially for people who want to do more than simply see Salem, they want to be part of the experience.

Start by creating and personalizing your own miniature enchanted broom, a unique Salem keepsake to take home with you. Then spend the afternoon meeting fellow visitors and locals through hosted activities, secret social missions, tabletop games, and plenty of opportunities to mingle, laugh, and make new connections.

Coming to Salem on your own? You’re especially welcome. The experience is designed to make it easy to walk in without knowing anyone and have something to do and people to meet. Friends and couples are welcome, too.

Guests can enjoy complimentary light appetizers, with a cash bar available throughout the event. Costumes are encouraged but never required, and guests who choose to dress up can join in our costume contest.

Unlike a tour or traditional attraction, you aren’t just watching the experience. You become part of it. Take home your personalized enchanted broom, a few stories, and perhaps some new connections from your time in Salem.

Whether you’re visiting for Halloween season, traveling solo, spending the day with friends, or simply looking for an unusual addition to your Salem itinerary, come experience the city a little differently.
