Asian night market ‘grew to a place we didn’t know it was growing,’ according to Howard County Fair Association

Until Saturday, the group that runs the Howard County Fairgrounds was expecting between 5,000 and 10,000 attendees at the Asia Collective Night Market. Instead, more than 25,000 people showed up Saturday, and only a small fraction had places to park, snarling traffic and causing many other issues. “This is the first event I can remember in years that grew to a place that we didn’t know it was growing,” said Mickey Day, president of the Howard County Fair Association. “It was a first-time renter, first-time event.”
