An Unmatched Showcase of Electronic Music in the Magic City

Miami is a destination that features a melting pot of cultures and one of the most eclectic collections of activities in the southeastern United States. The city gained its nickname of the “Magic City” due to its expedited growth out of the Florida swamps. Now the magic of the city resides in its overall experience for travelers, with a list of things to do that ranges from world-class events to the best nightlife in the region.

 

Miami Music Week is one of the largest gatherings of electronic music lovers on the planet, and serves as a nesting place for some of the best electronic music producers and record labels worldwide, to present their newest material to the public.  Now heading into its seventh year, more than 165,000 attendees are expected between March 21-26, at over 60 different venues throughout the city. Attendees can browse through MMW's comprehensive party guide, and choose which events and performers they want to see. The event wraps up with what is known as "the worlds premiere electronic music festival," the Ultra Music Festival which takes place in Bayfront Park, and attracts the largest audience of all the shows or parties during the entire week. Miami Music Week is the ideal way for travelers to get to know the city and experience its wealth of different cultures. The event also provides the city with a large economic boost, as attendees spend money at local hotels, shops, restaurants, and more. We got the opportunity to chat with the Miami Music Week Team to learn more about this world class music experience.
