Despite mounting resistance to ‘s beloved location by downtown residents, the powerhouse organizing body behind UMF has secured its return to Miami’s Bayfront Park, March 29–31, 2019. The announcement, along with ficial dates, came the festival guides handed out to attendees the 2018 event.

Given the to boot the dance music festival from the heart downtown Miami — a feature which is perhaps UMF’s biggest draw — their 2019 return to Bayfront Park is a major win for Ultra Miami. Ultimately, the City Miami, , ruled in favor keeping the event at it’s home on the basis that UMF brings $79 million in commerce to South Florida. This past Friday, Ultra even hosted city commissioner, Ken Russell, to show just how much an asset the festival is to Miami. Too big to fail, may be the correct term phrase to use for Ultra.
