Sweepstakes: Essence Festival Tickets

The 2014 ESSENCE Festival celebrates 20 years of music, leadership, and more with this summer’s “Year of Empowerment” event commemorating the 50^th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  Kicking off 50 years to the day of this historic legislation, The 2014 ESSENCE Festival is expanding its footprint with innovative new programs and features designed to improve the day-to-day lives of women and families – including the introduction of a free workshop series, Empower U.

With four days of inspiring tributes and seminars capped off with culinary delights from the ESSENCE Festival marketplace, music takes the stage each night at The Mercedes-Benz Superdome. This year’s headliners include powerhouses Prince, Lionel Richie, Mary J. Blige, Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Ledisi and Charlie Wilson; plus crowd-pleasures such as Doug E Fresh, Eve, Naughty by Nature, and more.
