HAMMOND - The Louisiana Renaissance Festival grounds flooded early Friday after the Tangipahoa River topped a levee protecting the festival grounds.

All efforts to protect the grounds failed. The festival was set to open the first Saturday of November.

Dozens of buildings, stages and other structures are under water. The river is expected to crest Saturday.
