The 2011 Essence Music Festival was in full effect July 1st-3rd. The annual event which takes place in New Orleans celebrated "the roots of R&B" and promised to have something for everyone.
The 17th annual gathering included Trey Songz, Boyz II Men, Charlie Wilson, Mint Condition, Stephanie Mills and many more.
"We listen to our audience and these are the musicians they want to see under one roof for three days," said Michelle Ebanks, President, Essence Communications Inc. "Our mission this year was to celebrate community through the prism of the art form that continues to tell our reader's stories: R&B."
The festival brought about many celebrities. Check out more photos below!
