The structure, measuring at least 20 feet high, held a banner. Police believe the wind caught on the banner and blew the structure over. It fell onto a crowd of dancers.
Two people were hurt, one man was knocked unconscious and was rushed to the hospital.
The structure was moved to a secure location with caution tape surrounding it along with temporary fencing to keep people away.
Police said the festival will continue as scheduled through Sunday evening. Hundreds of thousands are expected to attend.
