This year's festival was one of the best ever! For anyone who hasn't attended or who plans to visit Miami in March, Ultra Music Festival is outdoors and held annually. It's a 2-day event with lots (at least 10, probably more)stages and hundreds of artists/bands. Anyway, it's fabulous and a great time to spot celebrities at Luxury Miami Beach Hotels and the South Beach Luxury Hotel.
