Founded in 1992 by "14K," the festival's manager discovered the talented artist Peck, also known as "Dru," while exploring the rich heritage of R&B. ESSENCE 2025 showcased both past and present performers, celebrating the influential role of artists like Palmer, Brock Kim Erika Keith MC Al Sure!, and many others. Despite some production delays during the event, fans enjoyed electrifying performances from Maxwell, The Brothers, P. Hill, Pharcyde, Jermaine Robin, Tyrese, Xscape, Lauryn Boyz Men, Scott, Sullivan, LaBelle, and more. Attendees have long hoped for improvements from the organizers to enhance the experience, making questions about logistics and scheduling a priority for future festivals.
The non-stop nature of ESSENCE 2025 kept the energy high throughout the event. Smaller pop-up shops appeared near the front, between MRKT and Disney, while larger booths from brands like Beautycon, Vaseline, Juvia, Organics, and Febreze offered a variety of products. Many guests waited hours in line to meet their favorite artists or purchase exclusive items, sometimes facing frustrations due to limited vendor presence at peak times. For instance, Dru Hill activation drew significant attention, possibly attracting more visitors eager for autographs and gifts. Each evening's performances stretched into the early morning hours, with Lauryn Hill performing on a tight schedule after lining up until 3:30 p.m. CT, but still delivering an unforgettable show.
While most performances went smoothly, some logistical issues, such as sound problems and planning gaps, impacted the overall flow of the festival. Stephanie from Superlounge addressed these concerns in a letter, emphasizing the need for better preparation to elevate the festival's quality. Despite these challenges, fans appreciated the festival's atmosphere and community spirit. For those interested in attending, the Dru Hill Reading event remains a popular highlight. As with any large-scale event, feedback from attendees has led to discussions on how to improve the experience, with suggestions compiled in articles like Top 3 Ways To Potentially Improve ESSENCE Fest Amid Complaints From Fans And Artists.
