Howard County Asia night market was a disaster to some, but organizers will try again in Baltimore

The organizers of Howard County’s first Asia Collective Night Market, that many called a “disaster” because of gridlocked traffic and long lines, are trying their hand at another cultural festival — this time hosting a similar event in Baltimore, but with the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. Their latest venture, the Lunar Cultural Festival, will be held at West Shore Park at the Inner Harbor Jan. 21 and 22. It will celebrate the first day of the lunar calendar, which is widely observed in countries in East, South and Southeast Asia.
