“Not having it last year, you feel that effect. Now it’s coming back and leading the way for other festivals to say, ‘Yeah, we can do this as well.’ So that’s jobs, that’s spending across all neighborhoods,” Mark Romig of New Orleans and Company told WDSU. “That’s the restaurant business. It’s what we call heads in beds, people coming in and staying those days here. So between Oct. 8 and Oct. 17, the world will be here in New Orleans.”
