NEGRO ELECTION DAY HOSTING OF FESTVL
Unfortunately, this year Doreen Wade and Salem United, Inc. will not be hosting the 285th Negro Election Day event on the day of the State Holiday, July 19th, 2025. The City of Salem MA has denied our groups a permit to use Salem Willows Park. We will be returning as hosts on July 18th 2026 and would love to offer you the opportunity to be part of the 286th Negro Election Day festival and parade.
We hope you will come out and support us and if you have an application or paperwork for July 19th 2025, we will approve it and stamp on the date July 18th, 2026, if that is acceptable for you.
Thank you for your years of support and friendship,
Doreen Wade and Salem United, Inc.
​
We are on a fight to keep our name and our brand. We want you to understand who we are and why we call ourselves "Salem United". Learn the truth about the history of "Negro Election Day" and why its black history should be protected.
