The ESSENCE Festival of Culture is the largest African-American culture and music event in the US.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The annual music festival started in 1995 in New Orleans, Louisiana to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Essence magazine. The festival features artists simultaneously performing on a main stage as well as four standing-room only stages.

In 2006 it was held in Houston, Texas, due to Hurricane Katrina's effect on New Orleans, and the 2020 festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A spinoff iteration of the festival was held in Durban, South Africa in 2016. In 2013, Solomon Group became the producer of Essence Festival,[8] and MSNBC broadcast the event live.[1][9] MSNBC returned for the 2014 festival.[10] Much of the 2017 film Girls Trip was filmed on location during the 2016 festival, casting over 5,000 extras.[11] In 2022 The Walt Disney Company served as the exclusive entertainment sponsor.[12]
