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.


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.

That was my quickest trip to downtown NOLA ever. I got off I-10 at Poydras, saw the crowd, made a u-turn, and got right back on the interstate to BR.

I don't get why people other than servers think Essence is so bad. I lived in the warehouse district for 6 years and never had a problem during Essence other than places are too crowded. Bayou Classic is another story.
