Salem area events are extremely important in attracting visitors to the area but they also add to the quality of life here in Salem and the Marion and Polk counties region. Please remember to visit www.TravelSalem.com to learn about the various events taking place in your community. Let’s help support these events and encourage visitors to take an extra day, or two, in Salem to enjoy these unique activities.
Here is a sample of a few upcoming events that help make Salem such a great place to live, work and play!
Salem Film Festival
The 2008 SALEM FILM FESTIVAL will take its cue from last year’s remarkable line-up of films and filmmakers to dazzle yet again with a three-day supply of the fresh, the fantastic and the first-rate. With invigorated verve, we are enthusiastically scheming and plotting another whirlwind weekend of energy and emotion, of vitality and passion, of diversity and diversion, all to be splashed across the screen before your very eyes. When the lights have dimmed, prepare to be spirited away by the magic of the movies... www.SalemFilmFestival.com
