Essence Music Festival Returns to New Orleans; Dallas Travel Agency Offers Travel Packages for the 2011 Event

DALLAS, TX, December 22, 2010

The Essence Music Festival has been named the largest event celebrating African American culture and music in the United States. This annual weekend event has been held in New
Orleans, Louisiana every year since 1994 except for 2006, when it was held in Houston,
Texas due to Hurricane Katrina. There had been controversy earlier this year as to whether
the event would return to New Orleans in 2011.

It has been confirmed that the 2011 Essence Music Festival will be held Friday, July 1, 2011
through Sunday, July 4, 2011 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Dallas travel agency, Williams Travel and Cruises, will offer travel packages to the 2011
Essence Music Festival which include transportation to and from the event, along with hotel
accommodations in the French Quarter. Agency owner, Dana Williams says "The Essence
Music Festival is one of our most popular events each year. We usually sell out of travel
packages. The key to getting the best accommodations to this event is to book early".
