We’ve got some practical advice from us serial festival goers for Ultra Music Festival.
Yes, we have survival strategies for every festival we attend.
And we have very specific strategies when it comes to going to the world’s largest electronic music festival: Miami’s Ultra Music Festival (March 24-26).
Today we’re ready to share our survival plan for Ultra with YOU.
Seriously, if we didn’t have a very strategic plan for navigating Ultra, we might end up waiting in line for hours to get in and miss some of the big-name acts. AVOID!
Our survival guide involves a little bit of planning, but it’s fairly easy. Anyone can do it, really.
Get ready to screenshot!
Have your ID ready to be scanned at security. This event is for 18+ and security will be checking.
Expect the port-o-potties to run out of TP, and hand wash. Do yourself a favor and bring some for yourself. Self-care.
ALWAYS.
Even if you’ve never worried about dehydration and its serious effects, it happens a lot at Ultra and it can cause a medical emergency. No joke.
Keep water on you like you’re on a mission. More than you think you’ll need. Factor in Miami temperatures, and you’re going to sweat more than you thought humanly possible, and you’re going to burn energy from moving so much.
Tip: hydration pack – try filling a 2-liter hydration pack up twice during the day and polish that off, at night fill once and drink.
For Vibedration hydration packs to match your outfit go here.
Apply liberally, even to your lips to avoid sunburn
Festival rules – No backpacks, purses, or bags allowed except bags made of clear plastic, clear vinyl, or clear PVC not exceeding 13”x17”
See Ultra Festival’s full guidelines on clear bags here.
If you’ve never arrived early for an event in your life.
Make this the first time. If you show up right when doors open, you might still be in line hours later while your favorite acts are on. Not the look we’re going for.
95% of festival-goers are friendly, avoid being a target for:
-Pickpockets – yes a fanny pack isn’t always the look but it’s not fun to get your phone stolen, don’t put anything in your back pockets. Here are two brands we recommend: Loctote and Lunchbox Packs.
-Getting your drink spiked: keep your drink covered, and if it’s open, keep your eyes on it, and don’t touch it if you put it down somewhere
-Stay with your group: texting and calling will likely not work when you’re on site. Have a designated meeting spot picked out ahead of time. if you get separated, find your people there.
Wear comfy sneakers (you’re gonna be moving, ALL DAY)
Earplugs. – you’ll still hear everything, you’ll avoid that ringing for days sensation that tells you that yes, you’ve got hearing loss that will kick in

In most parts of the country, February is kind of the worst. Sure, there’s Valentine’s day, which is nice and all, but that’s a very fleeting bright spot in a month otherwise defined by darkness, slush, and the distinct ebbing of Holiday Spirits and New Year Energy. In Miami, though, the weather is warm without being hot, the sun is out, and the beaches are open. Here’s our picks for the best Miami events to check out this February and escape the winter doldrums!
For fans of good food and wine (or just fans of the Food Network), the SOBE Wine and Food Festival is pretty much a dream come true. With dozens of events ranging from a headlining Burger Bash with Emeril Lagasse to intimate dinners created by Michelin starred chefs to Masterclasses and neighborhood food tours, the SOBE WFF has something for everyone. Crewfare is excited to be partnering with SOBE WFF to bring you the best rates for hotels near Miami Beach. Bring your appetite!
Music aficionados who want to branch out their playlists will certainly enjoy a weekend at the Ground Up Music Festival, happening February 3-5. It’s hard to pin down the exact type of music playing at the Ground Up Music Festival–it’s headlined, as usual, by Snarky Puppy, a Grammy-winning jazz ensemble. But it also features pop and blues-inspired artists, as well as acts from around the globe. This year Ground Up will host three days and nights of performances at the outdoor Miami Beach Bandshell in North Beach.
If what you need in February is to dance all night (and day), then We Belong Here, happening on Virginia Key Beach February 25-26, is for you. Featuring a 360* dance floor and 3 hour sets from acts like Kaskade Redux and Lane 8, We Belong Here turns Virginia Key Beach (an Island just 10 minutes out from Miami’s Financial District) into a “pop up beach club”. Check out We Belong Here’s travel hub to get a feel for where you could stay to enjoy a weekend in Miami.
The Coconut Grove Art Festival is an almost 60-year-old tradition in Miami. This homegrown weekend showcases hundreds of artists. You can view juried prizes and purchase original artwork that you can add to your budding collection. It’s in a great location, overlooking Biscayne Bay, and you can check out cooking demonstrations and live music in addition to the beautiful art.
If you’re a boat lover, the Miami Boat Show, happening February 15-19 at the Miami Beach Convention Center, is the place you want to be. While there are tons of options for boat buyers to test drive and check out the latest models and types of boats, all those same options are available for people who just like to be out on the water on occasion. The boat show includes an indoor portion at the Convention Center and an outdoor portion on the docks, so you’ll get plenty of time enjoying the best of Miami’s sun and water. This is another event partnering with Crewfare so make sure you check out our travel hub when you’re booking!
