  • Salem 400+ Celebration refers to the city of Salem's 400th anniversary celebrations that will take place in 2026 honoring the city's rich heritage. The event will kick off on January 10, 2026 at Salem High School. More information can be found at https://www.salem400.org/.
  • In February 2026, Salem resident Karen Scalia initiated a "sister city" discussion with East Budleigh, England for the 400th anniversary celebration. Roger Conant, a New England colonist famous for establishing the city of Salem, was born in East Budleigh in April 1592. The East Budleigh Council unanimously agreed to the proposal after Scalia delivered a letter in June 2025 from Mayor Pangallo with Bicton Parish Council. The resolution was filed by Mayor Dominick Pangallo and the connection will be celebrated during the Food at 400+ festival in June 2026.
