    City of Miami Cancels Ultra Music Festivals Owing to Coronavirus Fears

    Dear Ultranauts,
    It is with a heavy heart that we inform you that The City of Miami has issued an official directive requiring that the 22nd edition of Ultra Music Festival, originally scheduled for March 20, 21 and 22, 2020 will be postponed to March 26, 27 and 28, 2021. Due to the Florida Governor’s declaration of a public health emergency and Centers of Disease Control and Prevention’s Interim Guidance for COVID-19, it is impossible for the City to provide access to Bayfront Park at this time.
    Not sure if "postponed" means that there will be 2 weekends of Miami Ultra next yr. regardless, I hope ppl got the hotel and/or flight insurance when they booked months ago.

    They cancelled the big music festival in Austin too called South by Southwest SXSW, even though no one in Austin has the Corona Virus. You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than getting the corona virus.

    I think the plan there is to avoid having ppl from other impacted areas gather all together in one place for hours. From a city's perspective, that's a great way to spread a virus. From a business PoV, its more about image and not wanting to be blamed for anything related to this.

    Actually some of us living near downtown could really use some time off from Ultra )...just joking. Buy Yes, I subscribe to the idea that they didn't want to be blamed for anything and any day continuing the project was bad business for them.
