With long nights of music at the Superdome and days filled with seminars and fundamental to the Convention Center, the festival has much to offer. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of it.
Dress up strong, but elegant dress. Essence is a matter of great style, adorned with at least on par with the talent on stage crowd. You want your fashion flag fly, but it's hard to find a balance: a team working for the July heat outside the New Orleans Superdome and control cold climate inside or shoes (for ladies) that can offer comfort and style while walking between stages for six hours. Pack a light jacket or pashmina in your bag to wrap up in, for when the A / C starts to get to you. And it hurt to throw in a pair of stylish flats or even flip-flops to heels when Amazon impressive starts to feel less impressive. You will not be alone ; based on experience , right before the head mainstage lineup always seems like suddenly , half of women in the Dome get three inches shorter .
Do some musical research. From current sensations to the legends of the old school, Essence brings some of the biggest names in the music of New Orleans each July 4th weekend. Do not let the mainstage dark glow fest bookers eye “for talent under the radar yourself a favor and Google up the unfamiliar names that look as you scan alignment. Could be rewarded by the opportunity to see a Superlounge intimate spectacle of a star up -and-coming, or a sensational artist from Europe or Africa that hasn’t made it big in the U.S. yet.
In fact, only a plan to go to the living rooms anyway. We've said it before: We offer an intimate Superlounges small in the massive event, which makes a star a set of old school disco feel like a VIP private dance or a concert jazz feel a cozy, romantic nightclub. Take a break from the great room at least once or twice a night and circulated through the halls. Often acts Superlounge play two games over the course of the night, so you can fit two side stages and mainstage action without losing anything.
Take your time. Among full days of speakers and seminars and nights filled with music on multiple stages - not to mention club matches full celebrities do not roll until after headlining the main stage moves Superdome - Essence Fest can be place. Treat your weekend as a marathon, not a sprint. Take time to review the inspirational seminars at the Convention Center, where the main figures of spirituality, business and the arts speak each day for free. Carving a couple of hours to visit some of the cultural sights of New Orleans, unique shops and legendary restaurants. Planning ahead also helps: if you want to do lunch at a popular restaurant (see our guide to dining suggestions) or squeeze in a pedicure, call for reservations or appointments for a couple of weeks in advance.
Stay hydrated; steal a nap in the afternoon. You can enjoy the music more if you're not dead on their feet after the evening one.
Plug in brass Essence Fest fans work well and the social media. Keep your phone charged throughout the weekend and watch the festival of Facebook , Twitter and Instagram feeds great behind the scenes photos , information on festival events and real-time updates on the proceedings .
