The victim suffered an abdominal injury and is currently hospitalized, while a second individual was treated for a graze wound. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed the incident and stated that they will be patrolling the grounds for the final day to ensure safety. Festival officials also released a statement expressing gratitude to law enforcement for securing the grounds and announced that the event will resume on Sunday with adjusted hours. The community is encouraged to still attend the festival and show patience and respect for all attendees, especially families with young children. The incident disrupted what was supposed to be an exceptional weekend at the beloved event, but organizers are hopeful that the community will come together to enjoy the last day of festivities in Memorial Park.
