​About the Event

​Salem is full of people quietly making a big impact—and it’s time to shine a spotlight on them. This unique award show celebrates community connectors who are helping build a stronger, more vibrant Salem.

​Instead of long speeches, we’re doing something fresh: think late-night talk show meets local recognition. Each honoree will be interviewed live on stage, sharing their stories, inspiration, and impact.

​It’s going to be a night full of laughs, music, and inspiration—and we’d love for you to be there.
