Spring is finally here, and Salem is waking up in the best way. If you’re looking for a little getaway that mixes cozy comfort, local charm, and a hint of adventure, The Lofts at Downtown Salem is your perfect home base. Here’s how to make the most of April in our corner of Virginia.

Easter Fun for Everyone

Hop into the season with Salem’s community Easter egg hunt at Salem Red Sox Stadium on April 9! It’s more than just your average run-of-the-mill egg hunt; think face painting, inflatables, and even a petting zoo. Bring the kids (or just bring your playful side) and enjoy a spring eventing full of laughter.

Baseball + Local Cheers

Spring means baseball is back! Catch the Salem Red Sox at Salem Memorial Ballpark for a laid-back night of America’s favorite pastime. Treat yourself to a buttery pretzel, a local craft brew, and a sunny evening on the bleachers.

Saturday Farmers Market Strolls

Fresh flowers, seasonal produce, and handmade goods await at the Downtown Salem Farmers Market. Just steps from The Lofts, it’s the perfect spot to grab a bouquet, a snack, or a locally made treat. Saturday mornings + spring sunshine = instant good vibes.

Greenway Trails & Fresh Air

For a little adventure, stroll, run, or bike along the Salem Greenway Trail. The scenic trail loops along the river, perfect for soaking up the fresh spring air. Pack a snack, find a sunny spot, and enjoy an impromptu picnic.

Local Eats + Patio Sips

April is officially patio season. Grab a table at:

• Mac & Bob’s for burgers and craft drinks
• Macado’s for generous sandwiches and sunny vibes
• Olde Salem Brewing Company for local brews and casual hangouts

Spring sunshine and local flavors is a winning combination here in Salem.

Back to Your Loft

After a day of exploring, return to your Loft to unwind. Big windows, cozy nooks, and just the right touch of modern charm make it easy to relax, recharge, and plan your next adventure in Salem.

Book your April stay at The Lofts and experience spring in Salem like a local!
