About this trip
Essence Music Festival is the event that “Parties Around The Clock." It draws well over 600,000 festival-goers each year. The Essence Music Festival brings “star-studded” actors, actresses, major artists, empowerment workshops, shopping, food, and so more to the famous City of New Orleans, LA.
Essence Music Festival has been and still is the highlight of New Orleans' summer music scene. The greatest music artist of all time has made the scene here. Music artists such as Beyoncé, Prince, Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Erykah Badu, Jeffrey Osborne, The Dells, Peabo Bryson, Lionel Richie, Frankie Beverly and Maze, and so many more. You never know which Entertainer will close out the final night of the three-day event at the Super Dome each year.
