Essence Festival XXII
The Essence Festival, known as "the party with a purpose", is an annual music festival which started in 1995 as a one-time event to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Essence, a magazine aimed primarily towards African-American women. It became the largest African-American culture and music event in the United States. (Wikipedia)
The festival covers black culture, food, expos, activations, music, concerts, artistry, and so much more. We wanted to share a glimpse into some of the moments documented during #EssenceFest22
