REAL STORIES, REAL VIBES

What Our Travelers Say About Us

These aren’t just reviews—they’re lived moments. People who came before you sharing their joy, their connections, and the unforgettable energy that only this escape delivers.

Our story

In the heart of Queens, New York, Eric Lunce and Jamal Ingram grew up with the pulse of Hip-Hop and R&B in their veins. Known in the music world as E-Smokex Music and Bankstop DJ Mally G, they were shaped by park jams, block parties, mixtapes, and the bond of a community that felt like family. Those early days sparked a lifelong connection to the culture that raised them.

Fueled by a love for their borough and the memories that never faded, Eric and Jamal set out to create something that honored where they came from. When they moved to Atlanta, they carried that Queens spirit with them, determined to build a place where people could come together, reminisce, and celebrate their roots.

What began as a single day in the park — filled with music, food, basketball, and laughter — quickly grew into something bigger. Year after year, their vision evolved into Queens Day ATL Weekend, a four-day experience that blends the energy of New York with the vibe of Atlanta.

Today, Queens Day ATL stands as the only official Queens Day, rooted in authenticity and fueled by the borough pride that started it all. It is both a tribute to the culture that shaped two kids from Queens and a celebration of the community that continues to inspire them.

Now, as Year 10 approaches, the brand is extending its reach with Queens Day International. This is not a replacement for Queens Day ATL in September — that tradition remains a cornerstone. Instead, it is an expansion, creating a semi-annual model that offers the community a second chance each year to gather, celebrate, and elevate.

The concept of this elevation was brought forward by Leslie Jacobs, known to many as Lady Diamonds, a proud native of South Jamaica, Queens. Through her brand, Ultimate Soul Escape, Leslie has led 14 years of luxury group travel, taking thousands of people to destinations such as Jamaica, Costa Rica, Cuba, Panama, Barbados, Antigua, and St. Lucia. Alongside her dynamic and dedicated team, she has built a trusted name for creating seamless, elevated experiences that fuse culture, luxury, and community.

Together, Queens Day ATL and Ultimate Soul Escape — two thriving empires with shared Queens roots — form a union that strengthens the legacy and extends it onto a global stage. And now, a passport is required, marking a new chapter as the celebration of culture and community goes international.
