Parking and Accommodations
We want to give you a full experience, so let us give you a few ideas on everything from Parking to Hotels (if you're coming from out of town!)
Driving Help
Howard County Fairgrounds is just minutes from most major highways! Located right off I-70 and Rt-32 near Columbia, it seems hidden, but we assure you we'll put signs up!
​
Restaurants
These are some of our favorites in the neighboring areas:
-Irina's Crepes Cafe - Breakfast/Brunch food served until 3pm (closed Mon), approx 30 Min away
-Bubba's 33 - Bar and Grille with cold beer and good burgers, approx 30 min away
Crabtowne - Super fun family seafood restaurant with a full ARCADE inside! 25 minutes down Route 100 and I-97!
FOOD TRUCKS
We are partnering with Catalyst Hot Dogs to bring you a fantastic FOOD TRUCK FOR THE WEEKEND!
Featuring more than a dozen varieties of dogs, plus GLUTEN FREE and VEGAN options!

Parking
We have PARKING! Howard County Fairgrounds has AMPLE parking right out front of the venue! It is first come, first served, grass/field parking. Be mindful of any weather conditions which may make the parking a bit more taxing than usual.
​
GETTING THERE
The fairgrounds MAIN building is down FAIRGROUNDS ROAD, which is right off Route 144 (the entrance). You'll go all the way down to the fence, take a left onto MIDWAY BLVD, and keep going down the hill until you see spooky stuff!
​
If you're in an open field, you're probably in the wrong place or used AppleMaps! Look for the main fairground buildings! (They look like giant warehouses)
