150K-Plus Attended Miami's Ultra Music Festival

Miami's claim to leadership in hip events took another leap forward with the recent, successful Ultra Music Festival. According to the Miami Herald, More than 150,000 people attended the late March, three-day fete in Bayfront Park. That's a crowd, even for a former New Yorker accustomed to dealing with waves of humanity.

The festival served as a marvelous warmup for the holiday trifecta of Spring Break, Passover, and Easter. Throw in tonight's opening of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins' new playpen, and Mah-amah has upped the ante for large crowd excitement.

The Ultra Music Festival event featured DJ Tiesto, DJ David Guetta, DJ Fatboy Slim, DJ Afrojack, and presumably anyone else with the first initials "DJ." The festival was spun as a fun event, although there were some arrests and injuries. However, the police actions and the medical issues were minor, given the event's scale. As long as you enjoyed being around one hundred and fifty thousand of your closest personal friends, the Ultra Music Festival was a wonderful party.
