They are confused. They should pay NOLA to put up with that event.

They simply need to say no.

Kinda late in the year to be setting up for July 4th.
I smell a swindle.

For those interested in hard numbers, Essence Fest has an economic impact between 300-350 million for the region but gets roughly 2 million of tax payer support.
Jazzfest has an economic impact between 350-400 million and gets basically zero dollars in taxpayer support.

I wonder if they pay Skankfest.

They should move that event to Jackson, Mississippi.
The culture is stronger there.

Essence means the fundamental nature or most important quality of something—the core feature that makes it what it is.

Squeezing as much out of the government and tax payers as possible definitely qualifies as one of the traits they're excellent at, so this tracks.
Remove that, and they won't be good enough to get anything from anyone.

A lot of cultural enrichment takes place at it, no doubt

Pay them that to keep it out of NO!
Actually that’s not a bad scam. Tell every city you are going to bring a massive black festival to them unless they pay up!
