The Welcome Affair, presented by Morris Bart, returns to the Orpheum Theater this summer to kick off the Essence Music Festival and Fourth of July weekend. Produced by WYLD?FM and WQUE?FM, listeners can only get tickets by visiting one of the official contest stops hosted at local businesses across the New Orleans area. Each stop will select six winners, and each winner will receive a pair of tickets to the June 30th concert. No tickets are for sale, and you must be present at the ticket stop when winners are announced to claim your prize.
