What It's Like in Salem, MA, During Halloween

The weekend of Halloween in Salem, prepare for a ball like no other! A handful of restaurants, bars, and hotels host Halloween events complete with music, costume contests, Champagne toasts, and more. They're very pricey, and the most legitimate ball of them all takes place at the Hawthorne Hotel. (Pro tip: it sells out quickly.) But if you want to enjoy a party like the one Max's parents were at in "Hocus Pocus," Salem's balls are the closest things to it.
