On Saturday, October 3rd, beginning at 11:00am, please be aware that as a part of the 2026 Zombie Walk, zombies will awaken as they do annually at the Salem Common and set off on their eerie march through the city. From the Common, the horde will lurch down Brown Street, creep left onto New Liberty Street, then shuffle right onto Essex Street. They’ll stagger left onto Central Street, stumble right onto Front Street, and drift left onto Artist Row before moaning their way left again onto New Derby Street. From there, the zombies will claw their way right onto Wharf Street, drag themselves straight up Hebert Street, turn left once more onto Essex, and then take a final right onto Hawthorne Boulevard before haunting their way back to their final resting place - the Salem Common.

There will be rolling road blocks throughout the route as the zombies shuffle their way through.
