10 Must-Do Events in Salem This Week: Easter Hunts, Standup Chaos & More!

Looking for excitement in Salem? From egg hunts to comedy showdowns, this week is packed with unforgettable experiences you won’t want to miss. Whether you're a local or just visiting, we’ve got the ultimate guide to making the most of April 17-23.

Top Picks for the Week

• Easter Egg Hunts Galore: Families rejoice! Multiple locations across Salem are hosting egg hunts with prizes, treats, and even live entertainment.
• Chaotic Standup Comedy Night: Laugh until it hurts at this unpredictable comedy showdown where anything can happen—crowd participation encouraged!
• Dance Party Extravaganza: A high-energy event featuring live DJs, neon lights, and non-stop dancing for all ages.
• Local Art Walk: Discover hidden talent in Salem’s vibrant arts scene, with galleries and pop-up exhibits open late.
• Farmers’ Market Spring Edition: Fresh produce, handmade crafts, and live music—perfect for a sunny weekend outing.

Why These Events Stand Out

Salem's event scene is buzzing with creativity this spring. The chaotic comedy night, for example, isn’t just another open mic—it’s a wild card where comedians perform unrehearsed material, and the audience helps shape the show. Meanwhile, the dance party promises a mix of retro and modern beats, making it a hit for all generations.

Easter events cater to families with themed crafts, photo ops with the Easter Bunny, and even a golden egg grand prize at select locations. Check times early, as some fill up fast!

4. Sunday: Dance party from 7 PM onward—dress to impress!

What Do You Think?

• Is chaotic comedy better than traditional standup, or does it just create awkward moments?
• Should egg hunts have age restrictions to keep things fair for little kids?
• Do late-night dance parties in Salem need more diverse music, or is the current mix just right?
