Red Dress Run NOLA - 8/13/2022

John Dunlop

The New Orleans Hash House Harriers, AKA the drinking club with a running problem, sponsor the Red Dress Run on the 2nd Saturday of August every year. This 5K Run is not exclusive to NOLA, but the Big Easy version has the lion’s share of outlandishly wild costumes, exceptional live music, and copious amounts of alcohol. While the Red Dress Run is a lot of fun, it is a worthwhile fundraiser with all proceeds going to charity.

John Dunlop

The Essence Festival, known as "the party with a purpose", is an annual music festival which started in 1995 as a one-time event to celebrate Essence, a magazine aimed primarily towards African-American women. It is the largest event celebrating African-American culture and music in the United States. Locally referred to as the Essence Fest, it has been held in New Orleans, since 1994 except for 2006, when it was held in Houston, Texas due to Hurricane Katrina. It features artists simultaneously performing on a main stage as well as four standing-room only superlounge stages.
