Salem Summer Jam Inc. is a community-powered summer festival rooted in unity, inclusion, and youth empowerment. Held in Salem, Massachusetts, Salem Summer Jam brings families together for a free, all-ages celebration that blends arts, culture, education, and fun in a safe and welcoming environment.

The event features live music and cultural performances, interactive youth activities, family-friendly games, local food vendors, and community resource tables. At its core, Salem Summer Jam is more than entertainment—it is a platform for connection and opportunity. The festival intentionally uplifts underserved communities by centering programming around autism-inclusive family spaces, youth development and workforce readiness, and veteran support and recognition.

By removing financial barriers and emphasizing representation, the festival creates meaningful access to experiences that strengthen families and inspire young people.

Driven by a mission of cultural pride, community wellness, and collective joy, Salem Summer Jam has become a signature North Shore event—celebrating diversity, empowering the next generation, and reminding Salem what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose.
