The most popular music festival of the summer (in the U.S.) is back with another phenomenal lineup of events and performers. The Big Easy, New Orleans, is host the Essence Music Festival from July 6th-8th.
New Orleans is the place to be this summer for a weekend of great entertainment, music, community and culture. You don’t want to miss this years’ festival. Headlining this year is Fantasia, Steve Harvey, Mary J. Blige, Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond and the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin. Recently reunited Dru Hill and SWV will also grace the festival stage as will Mary Mary, Vivian Green, Tank, Goapele and BMWK favorite couple (also featured in the new “Still Standing“ docu film) Kindred The Family Soul. The festivals’ British invasion will also keep the music celebration going with performances by Estelle and Marsha Ambrosius.
In addition to an amazing lineup of musical performers, the “Empowerment Experience” is sure to motivate and re-energize the entrepreneur, the student, parents and festival goers alike with its inspirational lineup of speakers led by Maurette Brown Clark. In between seminars, empowerment sessions be sure to check out the fabulous Cajun restaurants.
