A day after Mayor LaToya Cantrell recommended all large events in 2020 be cancelled in the city because of the coronavirus, ESSENCE announced they will no longer hold this year's annual festival.
“New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell bravely recommended yesterday that no large events take place in New Orleans in 2020, and ESSENCE fully supports that decision," organizers said in a statement Wednesday.
ESSENCE Festival organizers say they will honor all tickets sold for the 2020 Festival in 2021 and will also offer full refunds. More information can be found on the festival website.
