S alem's F estival of the D ead



Defying the boundaries of religion, culture and continent, death captivates our imaginations and ensnares our minds, beckoning us to journey to destinations beyond the tattered shroud of mortality. Halloween is that special time of year when the shades of the dead whisper from forgotten places and spirits walk among us. The Witches of Salem honor this time with the Festival of the Dead, an annual event that explores death’s macabre customs, heretical histories and strange rituals. Presented by Salem Warlocks Christian Day and Brian Cain, the Festival of the Dead beckons all to step through the veil into the realm of spirits.



The Festival of the Dead explores death’s mysteries with a series of events that investigate the favored and forbidden ways in which people have honored, celebrated and secretly delved into life’s inevitable destination. Following is this year’s schedule of events:
