Cleveland Asian Festival shuts down over capacity issues, police say
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The Cleveland Asian Festival was shut down three hours early Sunday after the city determined the event was over capacity, police confirmed.
Festival visitors were instructed to evacuate the Payne Avenue area. Police turned people away at the entrance as crowds were pushed out of Asia Town.
Wayne Wong a member of the Board of Directors said the city made the call to shut down the festival.
“The city felt that was more than the space could handle,” he said.
“My first five minutes in you hear them over the speakers saying they’re shutting everything down, it’s over with. All of the vendors closed up,” one visitor said leaving the festival.
Vendors forced to close immediately
Vendors were forced to close down immediately.
Sonja Nguyen owns Mochi and Co. and drove eight hours from St. Louis to set up her booth selling accessories, plush animals and trinkets. She had to break down the booth three hours early.
“It was just like security and police came over and said you have to shut this down you can’t sell anymore,” a Sonja Nguyen said.
Boxes were packed back up and bags were zipped shut.
“It was on track to be better than yesterday, but it’s now a little bit worse than yesterday,” a Njuyen said, until she had to shutdown.
Festival planners expected upwards of 50,000 people to visit over the course of two day. On Saturday, Nguyen said the rain likely kept people away, so Sunday was supposed to be a redemption day for sales.

Delta flight DL2750 to Atlanta returned to Cleveland following an emergency
CLEVELAND, OH — A Delta Air Lines flight bound for Atlanta was forced to make an emergency return to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) on Friday evening shortly after takeoff.
Delta flight DL2750, a regularly scheduled 90-minute flight to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), departed Cleveland on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 7:50 PM EDT.
The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900 with registration N962DZ, took off from runway 24R and began a standard climb out. However, upon reaching an altitude of approximately 22,000 feet, the flight crew abruptly halted the climb and declared an emergency, transmitting a “squawk 7700” transponder code to air traffic control.
Swift Return to Cleveland
Following the emergency declaration, air traffic controllers immediately vectored the aircraft back toward Cleveland. The plane conducted a rapid turnaround and safely touched down back at CLE at 8:47 PM EDT, exactly 57 minutes after its initial departure.
Emergency response vehicles met the aircraft on the tarmac as a standard precautionary measure, though no injuries have been reported among the passengers or crew.
Flight Canceled for Inspection
Delta Air Lines subsequently canceled the flight, leaving passengers to be rebooked on alternative routes. The specific nature of the emergency has not yet been disclosed by the airline or the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
As of Saturday morning, the Boeing 737-900 remains on the ground in Cleveland, where maintenance teams are conducting a thorough inspection to determine the cause of the mid-air incident.
