GET READY FOR THE 2009 ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL (THE PARTY WITH A PURPOSE) (1674 hits)
An exciting tradition, The ESSENCE Music Festival®, began in 1995 as a celebration of the 25th birthday of ESSENCE Magazine, July 4th weekend in New Orleans. Three days of cultural activities and three nights of performances by some of our greatest African-American artists made the Festival a success.
The Festival has grown in stature and attendance every year and is an annual destination. It is the largest African-American music and empowerment event in the country, with more than 270,000 attendees enjoying evening performances, plus free daytime sponsored activities, empowerment seminars and celebrity meet-and-greets.
With the best musical artists, the most powerful speakers and the biggest national brands, the ESSENCE Music Festival is three days of unparalleled music, celebration and community.
New acts have just been confirmed for the ultimate party of the year. Along with Beyonce, Maxwell, John Legend, EnVogue, Robin Thicke, Ne-Yo, Anita Baker, Janelle Monae and many more of the biggest stars will light up the stage July 3-5th. The best seats are selling fast so buy your tickets NOW at:
