Ultra Music Festival And Downtown Miami Residents Reach Historic Agreement
Ultra Music Festival and the Downtown Neighbors Alliance – a neighbourhood organization representing a dozen residential communities in Downtown Miami – are pleased to announce that they have reached a historic agreement bringing a much-welcomed conclusion to their longstanding tensions.
Miami Downtown Neighbors Alliance is a neighbourhood association promoting quality of life, common good and general welfare of residents in Downtown Miami’s Central Business District. Matters of interest include development, zoning and land use, street beautification, traffic and parking, crime prevention, park access, noise mitigation and other issues of common residential interest.
Ultra Music Festival is a Miami-based international music festival brand. The Miami edition, which is Ultra’s flagship event, showcases electronic music acts over a 3-day production every March in the City of Miami. Each new global edition has been founded on the same recipe that has been perfected over more than 20 years, combining the most diverse musical talent with technologically advanced, large-scale festival productions.
Ultra will continue to deliver state-of-the-art production consistent with Ultra’s high production standards, while also voluntarily implementing its first community standards program addressing issues including construction schedules, park closures, noise monitoring/impact and traffic management.
“This development finally opens the door to establishing an ongoing working relationship between the parties, which was long overdue” according to company spokesperson, Ray Martinez. “Ultra’s leadership was privileged to work closely with local residents in striking the balance between accommodating local residential lifestyles and hosting large-scale and state-of-the art music productions in Miami’s urban core.”
Mr. Martinez further stated that “we look forward to continuing to partner with area residents with the common goal of advancing a shared vision of sustainable coexistence, which will allow us to continue showcasing Miami and its local culture as the dance music capital of the world.”
James Torres, President of the Miami Downtown Neighbors Alliance, commented “we are pleased to have reached an agreement that addresses many of the issues that have impacted Downtown Miami residents during previous Ultra events. We believe that this agreement will allow Ultra and its neighbours to coexist and will highlight Downtown Miami as “One Community for All”, and a great place to live, work and play.”
The next edition of Ultra Music Festival is scheduled to take place from March 25 – 27, 2022 at Bayfront Park. You can find more information HERE
