It all culminates with ULTRA, the world's most famous outdoor electronic music event. Regretably, the Winter Music Conference won't return to Miami until 2024.

What Is Miami Music Week?

To call this "Music Week" is a major understatement. This is party central in steroids over a week long and then some, of highly charged events, a collection that keeps growing year after year. This week-long affair features almost every major artist in the electronic dance music scene. Hundreds of thousands of revelers converging in dozens of venues from South Beach, Miami Beach, Wynwood and beyond. This year, it's all happening from March 21 - 26, 2023.

Some of the most popular events keep coming back year after year and they take place all through the city, you will definitely be partying in some fantastic settings: our stunning beaches, the epic night clubs, on the water aboard a mega yacht, hotel pools...

Here are some popular spots and areas where the party scene has typically concentrated during Spring Break in Miami, please note that some regular events have switched venues as there have been some pandemic closures, many of the line-ups, events and programs are announced at the very last minute in mid-March, we will update as events are confirmed, stay tuned and refresh your browser!

  • The Delano Hotel used to be the "Miami Music Week Hotel" until it closed in 2020, however, the epic pool parties which typically spread to the surrounding hotels live on, including The National, the Kimpton Surfcomber the Nautilus and the Sagamore.
• In Mid-Beach, the vibe is slightly more subdued, traditionally the action is around the Faena District which is home of the Winter Music Conference where many of the "industry" events take place; however, the event has been suspended for 2023.
• Back in the "mainland" and in the Downtown/Brickell area check out the rooftop pools, such as at the Novotel Brickell, or at E11EVEN, Miami's mega ULTRACLUB.

There are new rules for operating Personal Watercrafts such as Jet Skis and Wave Runners. Per Florida law, anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 must take a boating test. Luckily, the courses can be taken online so anyone that needs to meet this requirement can do so before arriving in Miami.

Here's a list of approved Boating Safety Education courses. The online course offered at www.boatus.org is free, others charge a small fee between $14.99 and $29.95.

And make sure you know the rules, there are a lot of no wake zones for the manatees as well as in the busy areas.

Take An Airboat Ride Through The Everglades

Zipping around these noisy vehicles through the vast wilderness of the Everglades is a fun adventure for everyone and a great way to explore and enjoy the wildlife that this area is loved for and this is the perfect time of the year, our "dry" season when animals concentrate in the wetlands in great numbers and are easier to spot.

Alligators, turtles, all sorts of wading birds... and wonderful panoramic views of the marshes and hammocks at our beautiful "River of Grass".
