HAUNTED HAPPENINGS TRANSPORTATION

October transforms Salem into one of New England’s busiest destinations. Streets become crowded, parking becomes limited, and pickup locations can change as pedestrian traffic increases.

For 2026, the City of Salem has also announced that it will not operate its former October weekend shuttle service.

With Marblehead Car Service, your ride is arranged before you arrive.

Your chauffeur, pickup time, vehicle and destination are coordinated in advance so you can focus on Haunted Happenings instead of figuring out how you are getting there—or how you are getting home.

Salem Gets Extremely Busy During Haunted Happenings

Haunted Happenings draws enormous crowds throughout October, with the heaviest demand building toward Halloween. The City uses seasonal parking rules, may change downtown traffic patterns as pedestrian volume increases, and has announced there will be no City-operated October weekend shuttle in 2026.
