Join historian and author, Rory Raven, on an easy, 90-minute guided tour through the city's twisted streets. Hear stories and explore the events that shaped Salem, and still cast long shadows today. You'll hear about witches and Puritans, of course, but also about Nathaniel Hawthorne, the exotic spice trade, a Revolutionary War standoff, and the Great Fire that nearly wiped Salem off the map. We'll even visit one of the oldest graveyards in the nation!
The tour departs from the Courtyard at the Bridge at 211.This event happens rain or shine and is included with your Whole Shebang or Socialite ticket. Tickets may also be purchased individually.
It's the most important meal of the day! And now you can share it with your fellow performers, teachers, students, and attendees. The Great Burlesque Exposition provides a continental breakfast with something for everyone, whether you're vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, or just want some coffee in the morning!

We're on the hunt for the biggest game of all – a fabulous photo opportunity!
What's a Photo Safari? Take a dozen or more gorgeously dressed models, combine with a handful of talented photographers, add a dash of pre-selected Salem sites, and you have a recipe for some truly memorable images.
Photographers: Beginners and enthusiastic amateurs are welcome. You don’t need to be a professional photographer, but you need to behave in a professional manner. All Photographers will be required to sign an agreement granting permission to the models and the event to use the images from the Photo Safari for non-commercial use, and will receive a model release from all models. Still and video photographers are welcome.
