- When
- Fourth of July weekend each year: daytime events at the Convention Center and night concerts at the Caesars Superdome. Essence announces exact 2027 dates and lineup.
- From the houses
- About a mile to the Convention Center and roughly 1.5 miles to the Superdome
- Minimum stay
- Set per night on our live calendar. Big event weekends usually require more nights; checking your dates shows the exact rule.
Essence weekend is for groups of friends and family who travel together every year. A house keeps everyone under one roof between the daytime experiences and the night shows.
Why stay with us for Essence Festival of Culture
- Close to both venues: about a mile to the Convention Center and a quick ride to the Superdome.
- Every bedroom has its own space to get ready, and Luna’s kitchen table seats fourteen for a group dinner.
- Pool courtyards for the July heat.
Insider tips
- July in New Orleans is hot. Plan pool time in the afternoon and head out once the sun drops.
- Rideshare pickups around the Superdome back up after the concerts. Walk a few blocks out first.
- Book as soon as the dates are announced. This is one of the busiest weekends of the summer.
