It is reported that all buses serving the Omni, Miami Beach, downtown Miami, and adjacent areas might experience delays.
Parking in any Metrorail garage or surface lot costs $4.50 for the whole day and will remain open until the next day.
As the event takes place in downtown Miami and to avoid congestion and other inconveniences, it would be advisable for participants to leave their cars and travel with Metromover or Metrorail.
Both services will be available from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. the next day on Friday, March 22, and Saturday, March 23, and on Sunday, March 24, this service will close at midnight.

The price of Metrorail one-way is $2.25 and $5.65 for a one-day pass to the Government Center station, from where you must transfer to the Inner Loop of Metromover (free of charge) to the College/Bayside, First Street, or Bayfront Park Metromover station.
We add other recommendations beyond traffic if you are going to participate in the Ultra Electronic Music Festival 2024.
In this case, it is recommended to always use public transportation to get to the event locations, and if you are staying in a hotel in downtown Miami or Brickell, we suggest walking to the venue, thus avoiding transportation inconveniences.
As the crowd will be large during the performances, do not forget to bring enough water to stay hydrated; you can also refill your bottle at stations near the festival.
It is also very important to wear light clothing for the occasion and sunscreen.
With all the information for your transfer to the event and the added advice, you are now ready to enjoy 3 consecutive days of your favorite music.
