Festival incidents spotlight vehicle, crowd, and temporary-infrastructure hazards

Reports say six people were injured after a vehicle entered a crowd at Quebec's Festival Western, while a separate Ganapati festival tragedy reportedly killed two attendees amid congestion, damaged barricades, and alleged electrical hazards. Local event guidance, including LA Sugarcane Festival reminders about heat, children, rides, glass, and impaired driving, reinforces the need for clear exits, safe infrastructure, crowd separation, and prompt hazard reporting.
