What is Water Festival?

This website has a few good photos with a caption each- it explains the festival really well with pictures and words. It'll give you the context of the stampede. It doesn't show the density of the crowd that much, I don't think the photographer could take photos where it was really crowded, but he did say that "The visor on my helmet which I was carrying on my belt was torn off by the crush of the crowd. "
And that was just a normal water festival afternoon- not the final evening craziness, so that should give you an idea of just how crowded it was on the bridge that night.
