City boosters say the Jazz Fest will have about a $400 million economic impact on New Orleans.

Tens of thousands of visitors attended the festival, which returned last month after two years of pandemic cancellations.

Many people decided to spend a few extra days in town, bringing business to bars, restaurants, and shops that have been missing out on the Jazz Fest crowds.
