Or
A) high ticket prices
B) weak line-up
C) tough financial times
D) maybe a bit of trepidation following the NYE attack
E) feeling unwelcome by local businesses.

Could someone translate this to English for me?

We intentionally re-scheduled an annual trip to NOLA because I didn’t realize it was Festival of the Essence.

I just can’t deal with that AND the heat.

July in NOLA is for not being in NOLA.

It is nice to get right into restaurants though.

How about a nothing festival that weekend?

They were blaming the festival and artists for scheduling too many acts and letting them run over their time slots

Essence is a million times better than a bunch of racist rednecks in the city in July.

You have the god given right to this opinion but I assure you it is not shared by the majority.
