New Year’s Eve Launch! 2026
New Year’s Eve LAUNCH! is Thursday, December 31, 2026, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on Artists’ Row in downtown Salem. Salem Main Streets and the City of Salem throw a family-friendly New Year’s Eve party with an early countdown just before 6 p.m., so the whole family can ring in 2027 and still make it home for dinner.
