Salem’s Northeast Neighborhood Association is bringing the Englewood Forest Festival back this summer – and seeking local artists to sell their wares.

The annual summer event brings hundreds of people to Englewood Park to enjoy music, art and food. The 2020 festival was canceled due to the pandemic, but neighborhood organizers have scheduled a 2021 return for Saturday, August 14.

Alan Scott, the president of the festival, said artists pay between $15 and $40 for a booth and can sell work they’ve created. Those interested can fill out a form on the event website until July 10.
