Cast Off with the Canines: End-of-Summer Dog Cruise
About this Event
Celebrate the unofficial end of summer aboard the Hannah Glover! Join Tails of Salem for a one-of-a-kind dog-friendly cruise featuring live music, harbor views, giveaways, and a celebration of the release of Tails of Salem: The Untold History of Dogs in the Witch City. Whether you're a local or visiting Salem for Labor Day weekend, it's the perfect way to celebrate the holiday weekend with friends—both two- and four-legged!
🐾 Limited Dog Spots Available!
Only 25 tickets include a spot for a well-behaved, leashed dog to join the cruise. If you'd like your pup by your side, reserve early and select a "With Dog" ticket at checkout.
No dog? No problem! You'll still meet plenty of good "buoys" and girls aboard—including the chance to collect pawtographs from a few local canine celebrities.
This special cruise also celebrates the release of Tails of Salem: The Untold History of Dogs in the Witch City, a new book uncovering the remarkable history of dogs in Salem—from the earliest settlers to today's beloved companions. Be among the first to purchase a signed copy and celebrate with us!
