Miami festivals are not limited to Independence Day only - locals know how to celebrate interesting events. This is evidenced by the world-famous electronic music festival called Ultra (or UMF). Gathering about three hundred thousand music lovers in one place (Bayfront Park) and at one time (end of March), it is considered to be one of the largest musical events in the world. Just look at the names of the headliners who have appeared on its stage at different times - Armin van Buuren, Prodigy, David Guetta, Tiesto - and realize why the event is so popular. In addition to the music program, visitors can enjoy light and fire shows, as well as dance performances.
Jazz fans will appreciate the three-day Miami Downtown Jazz Festival, which takes place at the end of the second spring month in the same Bayfront Park. Here they play not only jazz but also related genres such as blues, funk, soul. Many people are attracted by the festival's warm friendly atmosphere, which makes it possible to create a direct dialogue between the listener and the performer. Another jazz event taking place in mid-November is the Sunny Isles Beach Jazz Fest, which is held in Gateway Park. Eminent headliners are invited to both music festivals so that no one gets bored. However, this is also a great opportunity to discover new names in jazz.
