We offer a wide variety of free programs, including cooking demonstrations from local chefs, tomato tastings, book swaps, food preservation demonstrations and children’s craft activities.
Unless otherwise specified, all events are held at the FSSM booth on the south side of the Salem Saturday Market. The market is at the corner of Marion and Summer streets NE in Salem.
Please check our blog for details on this year’s events as they approach. We also send out a monthly email update with details about coming events — send a note to info@friendsofsalematurdaymarket.org if you would like to be on our email list.
