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.
