(SALEM) - The Bite of Salem is taking place at Riverfront Park this weekend. Each year the event features different varieties of food, some that is what people have every day in Salem, and other more unusual things. Fireworks displays were written in for both Friday and Saturday nights.

Last weekend's Salem Art Fair had a good turnout initially, lots of beautiful things on hand and the best collection of vendors ever, but intense heat kept numbers down.

This weekend with temperatures expected to stay in a more mild mid-70's range, the weather should prove to be anything but a deterrent.

The Bite of Salem began Friday. Saturday's hours are 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. On Sunday, the event runs from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Vendors often break down hours early on the last day, so anyone planning to go Sunday might try to arrive well before 6:00 PM.

There is a gate, and the event organizers will ask you for a $2.00 donation to enter. That does not cover the price of any food or items at the Bite of Salem.
