It’s almost that time again…we’re talking about the ESSENCE Festival Of Culture presented by Coca-Cola in New Orleans, the most anticipated summer event! We’re excited to party with a purpose, from legendary performers like Usher to Janet Jackson to thoughtful wellness events and panels to celebrate our 30th anniversary of the groundbreaking festival. Although we’re excited to celebrate the nuances of our culture, we should always keep wellness and health at the forefront of our minds, especially when having to brave the New Orleans heat and crowds of thousands of people. We’ve compiled a well-rounded list of lifestyle-based items that will keep you refreshed, hydrated, and cool throughout the three-day weekend.
Check them out below, and see you in NOLA!
