everyone is trying to avoid downtown...for reasons


Nah, most of the Essence crowd stays around the Convention Center. The fireworks display has two barges - one in front of the Convention Center, and one in front of Jax Brewery.

Expect a normal weekend crowd in the Quarter. We've been going for years without any problems.

This.

If the OP does need to get away from downtown, City Park does have a fireworks deal with music, etc on the night of the 3rd. Seems pretty cool.

Yea, I've never heard of the 'Essence crowd' causing any problems other than the supposed shortchanging of waiters perhaps. This isn't the Bayou Classic- Essence goers tend to be well to do.
