Things to Do in Howard County — Columbia & Ellicott City
Howard County punches above its suburban reputation: Merriweather and the Columbia lakefront draw real touring acts, Ellicott City's historic Main Street is a walkable run of bars, restaurants, and shops, and Clarksville has quietly become a dining destination. Plenty of free outdoor concerts in summer, and a brewery scene that keeps growing.
