Downtown Salem Map & Guide will help generate foot traffic among the downtown Salem area, with clear directions to and from nearby food, drink, retail, resale, arts, entertainment, health, beauty, hotels, banks & more.

We will offer:

*100% neutral editorial (no opinion, politics, etc.), including Salem trivia, relevant news (parking meter updates, construction, etc.), and reader submissions (such as Salem-themed art and photography).

*Event listings for downtown events (parades, arts walks, Make Music Day, etc.) that are open to all.

*Quarterly distribution downtown, as well as transit stations, rest stops and visitor centers. Circulation will increase in quantity and page count as publication expands.

We would love to know your feedback and thoughts, so while we get things going, feel free to email us (info@downtownsalemguide.com).

A sample issue is shown below. Final print for Summer 2026 will contain updated listings, additional editorial and a few minor revisions.
