Crowds enjoying entertainment on Depot StageEvery year in early October, the Salem Apple Butter Festival is held at Depot Park in downtown Salem, drawing young and old alike  to watch apple butter being made in open copper kettles over slow burning wood fires. Our rapidly growing festival has become one of the area's most exciting and anticipated events. Each year, new activities are added as the festival draws larger and larger crowds.
