Summer Heats Up in New Orleans
Summer in New Orleans isn't just a season—it's a state of mind. It's afternoons spent poolside with a frozen cocktail in hand, evenings that stretch long after sunset, and weekends filled with unforgettable experiences around every corner. At J Collection Hotels, we've curated everything you need for the ultimate summer escape, whether you're visiting the city or rediscovering it like a local.
Experience ESSENCE Festival Weekend
ESSENCE Festival of Culture is one of the biggest weekends of the year in New Orleans. Held every Fourth of July weekend, it celebrates Black music, culture, entrepreneurship, food, fashion, wellness, and community.
In the spirit of this celebration, Jung Hotel & Residences is proud to host Geaux Girl Giving and the presentation of The Legacy House on July 3 from 4–6 p.m. This immersive storytelling experience honors the legacy, leadership, generosity, and community impact of Black women. Through art, culture, and community, we celebrate those who came before us, recognize the changemakers of today, and inspire future generations to continue the legacy.
Join us for this complimentary community event. RSVP here.
