The Forge Grand Opening ✦ Community Open House
Join us on Friday, May 16 as we officially celebrate the Grand Opening of The Forge, a growing collective of spaces, businesses, creativity, food, wellness, beauty, movement, and community in the heart of downtown Salem.
While our doors have been open for a while, this is the moment it all comes together.
Spend the day wandering through the building, exploring spaces, meeting the people behind the businesses, shopping, grabbing a drink or bite, discovering new favorites, and experiencing the energy that’s been building here.
✦ Community Open House
11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Free + open to the public
Expect:
— Open businesses throughout the building

Then come back later for ✦ The Night Cap ✦ our evening celebration from 6–10 PM (21+).
Whether you’ve visited before or this is your first time stepping inside, May 16 is the perfect day to experience The Forge.
Come wander. Stay awhile. See what’s been taking shape here.
