Weekend Agenda: Plenty to Do in Salem

1. Take a Walk in the Woods: The Friends of Salem Woods will host a hike Saturday morning. Participants will meet in the parking lot of Olde Salem Greens golf course, at the trail head sign by the bike rack. The walk takes 80-90 minutes and covers about 2.4 miles. Some sections of trail are hilly and rocky, so appropriate footwear is encouraged.

2. Try Out a New Book: The Salem Athenaeum is hosting a book sale Saturday morning on Essex Street. The sale is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Click Here for all the details. 

3. Listen to Some Live Music: As always, there are plenty of options when it comes to live music in Salem this weekend. Click Here to read a handy break-down of the various musical acts that will be playing at venues across the city, written by Salem Patch blogger Bob Broderick.
