2011 Essence Festival: In Pictures



The Superdome in Louisiana was filled to the brim with talent this weekend as the 17th Annual Essence Festival  2011 kicked off on July 1!  Headliners for this year's fest included, Usher, Mary J. Blige, & Kanye West.  The jam-packed lineup for Day 1 included Miguel, Tank, Charlie Wilson, Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia.  Classic groups like Boyz II Men (Now a trio), and Dru Hill also graced the stage with rousing performances of the songs that made them mega-stars back in the day.  Take a look at what you missed if you were not amongst the thousands of festival-goers.














Headliner Usher closed out the day with his last big show of the year, tweeting, “To everybody that came to the show tonight…much love! I had an incredible time…as I told ya’ll last show this year on that level.”



Kanye West rocked the stage on Saturday night and Mary J.Blige will close out the star-studded event on Sunday.



There was not one corner of The Superdome that wasn't filled with starpower!  The Essence Fest wraps up tonight!
