Grab These Clear Bags For ESSENCE Festival's Superdome

By Dominique Hobdy · Updated December 6, 2020

The countdown to the 25th annual Essence Festival is on!

Click HERE to get your tickets for the 2019 Essence Festival, celebrating 25 years of moving the culture forward!

In preparation for our assent onto New Orleans for the most epic festival there is, we’re packing our bags and checking them twice.

While a good bag is always necessary, it’s more important this year than ever. The Superdome is imposing a clear bag rule that will prohibit any bag that isn’t clear and/or see-through and 12” x 6” x 12” in size from entering the building unless it is a small clutch bag no larger than 4.5” x 6.5”.

Yea, we know.

That’s why we’ve done the heavy lifting for you and created ESSENCE bags that adhere to each and every rule so that you don’t have to think about it.

They’re available for pre-order now and can be picked up 9 a.m.-5 p.m. July 5 – July 7 in Lobby A of the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana next to the Box Office—Convention Center Boulevard.
