Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest and Conventions: What Drives New Orleans' Linen Volume
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, home to America's largest contiguous-space exhibit hall (~1.1M sq ft), spikes downtown hotel occupancy and banquet linen across major conventions, while Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Essence Fest and Superdome events drive recurring multi-week occupancy surges. A nationally dense restaurant scene and a hot, humid subtropical climate keep chef whites, aprons, napkins and towel cycles running year-round. We staff for those New Orleans peaks and add emergency express when a convention or a sold-out weekend pushes you past your usual load.
