About this event
What to expect
Step back into the spirit of Salem’s old neighborhood — where shops, bakeries, and gathering halls once lined Derby Street, and neighbors came together over good food, strong coffee, and a bit of cheer. A century ago, this waterfront block was alive with local grocers, cobblers, and cafes serving the Polish and maritime families who called it home.
Today, the tradition continues at Trade House’s Holiday Sip & Shop — a cozy pop-up market celebrating Salem’s community spirit. Enjoy festive drinks and small bites as you browse local artists, makers, and small businesses offering the perfect gifts to finish your holiday list.
