Essence Festival of Culture 2023

Jun 30, 2023 to Jul 2, 2023

New Orleans, Louisiana

In 1995, in New Orleans, the Essence Music Festival was initially a 25th-anniversary celebration of the popular Essence Magazine back in the mid-1990s. As the celebration continues annually, this festival is one of the biggest and most loved in the world. No other city has perfected the art of storytelling quite like New Orleans. This is where festivals and celebrations are a part of everyday life; the sounds of music linger on every corner; and plates are overfilled with beignets and crawfish étouffée.

The festival will begin at 7:00 AM Friday morning and will come to an end Monday evening by 11:00 PM.
There will be three days of festivities full of fun.

While booking with this group gets your hotel booked at a group rate, you are not obligated to partake in any weekend activities with the group. You are free to mix and mingle as you please throughout the streets of New Orleans.

Explore & enjoy!

Your Hotel Accommodations

Once a printing house and bitters factory, The Eliza Jane is a decadent respite between the French Quarter, Central Business District, and Arts District. It’s where centuries-old history and impeccable style meet—a place where guests want to stay awhile and take it all in, from the garden courtyard to the literature-themed lounge.

Girls Just Need To Have Fun

Saturday, July 1st @ Noon

As Mystikal says, "Shake ya ass, but watch yourself. Shake ya ass, show me what you workin' with."
