Costumed crowds pack Salem with weeks to go still before Halloween
Hundreds of people in costumes are already flocking to Salem, Massachusetts, with more than three weeks to go until Halloween.
Around 1.2 million people descended on the city last October. Based on how things are already going, the mayor expects crowds to surpass that number this year.
“We’ll probably have a record number for October just given the trends we’ve been seeing over the last couple of weeks,” Salem Mayor Dominick Pangallo said.
From family trips to bachelorette parties, there’s something — or someone — everywhere you look, and the parking in the Witch City is even scarier than some of the clowns walking around.
“This is my seventh year returning to Salem,” said Gregory Reinert, who is from Las Vegas. “This year I got inspiration from Monty Python in search of the holy grail.”
Emma Alonso, a 7-year-old from New Jersey, says there’s a lot to like — costumes, balloons and even ice cream.
“Oh I love it, oh my god, all the costumes and everything, it’s so much fun,” said Abbey Miller, a bride-to-be from New Jersey. “I really like it.”
“It almost feels like an amusement park,” one performer said. “It’s just like I feel like it comes alive.”
“It feels like Disney but don’t treat it like Disney,” another performer said.
Officials are urging people to take public transportation into the city. On Halloween, trains will be running there every 30 minutes.

Almost 5,000 Boston area hotel workers prepare to strike
Hotel workers in the Boston area are preparing for a strike after the deadline for a new contract passed at midnight.
Nearly 5,000 hotel workers are threatening a strike that would impact 36 hotels. This could have a major impact in Boston as well as Cambridge.
The sticking points during contract negotiations include healthcare, pensions and wages.
The local union says there has been months of deadlock with no deal in sight.
A larger strike would be a major escalation after smaller strikes that affected a handful of hotels for a couple of days had been happening since September 1st/
“The industry has fully recovered from Covid, we need a significant amount of money in wages up front to make up for the lost income that have had over the last couple of years” said Unite Here Local 26 President Carlos Aramayo.
The major hotel brands in the area have yet to comment on the negotiations.
