The Salem Parks and Recreation Department is excited to announce an updated plan for some of its most popular music events that have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Jazz In July, Pickin’ In the Park and two editions of the popular Salem After Five concert series are relocating to Salem Memorial Ballpark in July and August. The change of venue to the home of the Salem Red Sox will allow for better social distancing and provide music fans accessible seating and the ability to enjoy convenient food and beverage options at the Red Sox Grill.
