Northern Liberties Night Market in Philadelphia was canceled. Organizers say they can't afford city's rising costs.
Sip, savor and stroll down North 2nd Street: That's what organizers say the Northern Liberties Night Market is all about. It's free, family-friendly and filled with dozens of vendors. It was supposed to happen Wednesday night but was canceled after organizers said they couldn't afford the city's rising costs. "We've been waiting for a Hail Mary that kind of never came," said Owen Kamihira, owner of El Camino Real in Northern Liberties. Kamihira helps plan the festival. He said in previous years they could afford it, but recently the price for sanitation, police and other costs has skyrocketed and they can't swing it this summer. Organizers said they want a partnership with the city. They hope to work together to continue to keep the Night Market going. "This is, you know, kind of a perfect example of their Open Streets initiative that they've been trying to pull off. We're not actually asking the city to pay for this; we're actually asking for a partnership," he said. "This is just one of a handful of times a year we try to do anything on the street, and we're just getting priced out of it," said William Reed, co-owner of Standard Tap. Organizers are hopeful for the September event that's right around the corner. "Our hope is that we can land on a fixed fee with the city. ... We were able to negotiate the 2nd Street Festival, which we also do," Kamihira said. CBS News Philadelphia reached out to the city, and we are still waiting to hear back.

July 16 Milwaukee Night Market canceled due to severe weather threat, rescheduled Oct. 1
The Milwaukee Night Market on Wednesday, July 16, has been canceled due to a threat of severe weather and rescheduled to Oct. 1, organizers announced in a news release. According to the National Weather Service, there will be a line of heavy showers and storms along a cold front this afternoon between noon and 7 p.m., producing damaging winds and heavy rainfall of 1-2 inches. Storms will push out over Lake Michigan after 7pm with some lingering showers through the remainder of the evening. 'After carefully monitoring the forecast over the last 24 hours, we have ultimately made the decision to cancel tonight's Market,' said Stacie Callies, Executive Director of Westown Association. 'The safety of our vendors, performers, attendees and staff is our main priority, and unfortunately the severe weather forecast poses challenging conditions for an outdoor event." The Night Market, a free-to-attend outdoor market that features over 100 local vendors and a variety of entertainment each night, was scheduled four times over the summer: June 11, July 16, Aug. 13 and Sept. 10.

Ajay Rai, 9 others booked for ‘blocking roads' in Varanasi
Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Ajay Rai and nine of his supporters have been booked for taking out the 'Pol Khol Padyatra' (foot march) allegedly without permission in Varanasi, police said on Friday.

According to the police, the padyatra caused traffic disruption, especially at the Englishia Line intersection. Based on a complaint by Kashi Vidyapeeth outpost in-charge sub-inspector Vikal Shandilya, an FIR has been registered against 10 people, including Rai. Police said Rai, along with district president Rajeshwar Patel, metropolitan president Raghavendra Choubey, Dharmendra Tiwari, Fashat Hussain, Pramod Pandey, Gulshan Ali, Shatnam Singh, Ashok Kumar Singh, Aqeel Ansari and around 50 others, were moving towards Sajan trisection while shouting slogans and blocking the road. Their march allegedly brought ambulances and passengers heading to the railway and bus stations to a standstill, severely affecting traffic, police said, adding the group disrupted public order by organising a procession on public roads without prior permission. Sigra police station in-charge Sanjay Mishra confirmed that an FIR had been registered under relevant sections for unlawful assembly and traffic obstruction. Criticising the government, Rai said the Congress had organised the 'Pol Khol Padyatra' in Varanasi to expose poor services for Kanwar Yatra in Varanasi. 'Instead of paying attention to these issues, the state government lodged an FIR against us. The fact is no one in the government wants to face the truth,' he said. 'We won't stop. Our party will continue to expose the state government and they may lodge as many FIRs as they want. Even if we are sent to jail, our campaign to expose the government will not stop,' Rai said.
