The Essence Music Festival wrapped up its 14th year on Sunday in the Louisiana Superdome. Many people made their way down to The Big Easy for the musical performances and free empowerment seminars.

The New Orleans based festival celebrates black music and culture and moved to Houston in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina smashed New Orleans. It returned in 2007, and organizers say “Essence is now re-establishing its place in the city.”
