The city's Secretariat of Comprehensive Risk Management and Civil Protection said the incident occurred when strong gusts of wind caused a metal structure forming part of the stage to collapse.
Emergency response teams gave on-site immediate medical attention and two people were transported to a hospital for further treatment, the secretariat said in a statement.
The stage had been set up for a musical event tied to Mother's Day celebrations.
