This year the theme for Essence Music Festival 2015 is #BringTheLove. Essence wants all of its supporters, followers, and fans to come out and take place in all the fun activies taking place in New Orleans July 2th-July 5th. Anyone who has attended Essence events in the pass knows everything is full of fun! Thousands of people every year attend the free Essence Empowerment Experience in New Orleans convention center, as well as socialize and network at official Essence Day parties! 

And who can forget the main event, as all your favorite artist will take the Essence Festival 2015 stage including Usher, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Mary J. Blige, Charlie Wilson, and more.

This year is marking the 10th year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina flooding the city of New Orleans, and Essence returning year after year since with only the one exception of  2006 host city Houston.
