Salem's So Sweet Chocolate and Ice Sculpture Celebration
Due to COVID-19, our Salem’s So Sweet initiative will look very different in 2021. Please read the information below carefully, and be aware that details may change as needed.
Salem Main Streets, the Salem Chamber of Commerce, Destination Salem, and local retailers, restaurants, and businesses invite you to participate in the 19th annual Salem’s So Sweet Chocolate & Ice Sculpture Festival – a decadent tradition of delectable chocolate, sparkling ice sculptures, and Valentine’s Day shopping! This year we remain committed to supporting our local businesses in whatever fashion we can, and encouraging safe ways for our residents to remain connected to our downtown.
