Several of the locations will feature live holiday music. The walk, extending from Salem Common to the McIntire District, has something for everyone as it winds through the city’s downtown, with its eclectic shops and restaurants. The hub of the tour will be Salem’s 1816 Old Town Hall, where visitors will be welcomed to a Holiday Boutique featuring offerings of some of the area’s finest merchants, as well as seasonal greens fashioned by the Salem Garden Club.
