ESSENCE Fest Squad Goals: Squads Of The Week - Feb. 5 - Feb. 9

Our #EFSquadGoals movement is underway and we’re looking to shine a bright light on all the fabulous squads who are making plans to join us for the 2018 ESSENCE Festival in New Orleans this July.

ESSENCE Festival 2018 ticket packages are on sale now! For more info and the latest news, visit our Festival page HERE.

In celebration of this year’s Festival, we’ll be taking time out of each week to highlight some of our favorite crews who have shared pictures of their 2018 ESSENCE Fest travel squad on social media using the hashtag #EFSquadGoals. Scroll through for a look at our first round of squads and make sure to share your group photos using the hashtag for a chance to be featured.

See you in NOLA!
