Spring has arrived and Miami is seeing it in full force! We have twerkers on major causeways and Miami Beach Police ATVs but Miami Music Week is here so it’s ok. For those not familiar with MMW, its short for “best week of the year for EDM” in South Florida. Starting today up till Sunday, over 100 events will be taking place all over Miami. This includes anything from pop-up shops in parking lots, warehouses in strange neighborhoods, day fades at roof top pool parties, yacht raves and more.
The list of artist coming to visit from all over the world is overwhelming to say the least. As the week progresses, so will the acts. Djs, producers, performers and visitors will triple the traffic around different parts of the sunny city while heading to numerous events.
You might not be able to avoid the Uber surges but you can definitely curate your week so your wallet doesn’t go into hiding. Its a marathon, not a sprint so get your sleep in before submerging yourself into this 6 day festival taking place in the largest, most lit venue- Miami.
