NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A morning downpour has left a lot of mud at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, even though the opening was delayed about an hour while crews with bulldozers dumped sand onto the squishiest areas.

Heath Turpen of Florence, Ala., walked the grounds barefoot on Friday. He said Jazz Fest was a mud fest. He laughed, saying you don’t need shoes to enjoy the music.
