This is the 20th anniversary of the ESSENCE Festival, one of the largest music festivals in the United States. This Fourth of July weekend, thousands of people will be in New Orleans to experience everything the city has to offer. Before you go, here is a list of apps to help get you ready for what is sure to be a memorable event:
- ESSENCE Festival App – This is the official app of the 2014 ESSENCE Festival, and the only way to be in the know. With this app, you get the complete schedule of everything that’s happening at the festival. Plus, the app lets you create your own personalized ESSENCE Festival schedule.
- Verizon’s Mobile Disco Ball – This can’t be downloaded in an app store, but you will want to make sure you have Verizon’s Mobile Disco Ball on your cellphone to be part of something special with Morris Chestnut in the Superdome on Sunday night. You can also text DISCO to 96035 to download the disco ball.
