The annual ESSENCE Festival of Culture is not just a celebration of Black business, art and music, it’s a showcase for the impact and influence of Black culture.

Morial Convention Center, floor of the Caesar’s Superdome and streets of New Orleans offer the most interesting fashion shows of the weekend.
