Will the Ultra Music Festival ever find a home? A few weeks after the fest seemed to be done with the City of Miami, city commissioners have pulled the legislative equivalent of a “I’m sorry. We should catch up soon” text.

Four of the five commissioners want to consider bringing Ultra back to Bayfront Park, less than a year after not extending a contract to keep the festival in Downtown Miami.

Their discussion comes as City of Miami Beach leaders briefly considered bringing Ultra back to its original home in South Beach. And after Homestead council members voted to allow later hours at the Homestead Miami Speedway which has been considered as another potential site for Ultra.

Festival organizers decided not to host the event in Virginia Key Park or the City of Miami next year, and haven’t commented on the City of Miami’s latest discussion.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has a new “top priority”: Cybersecurity for the state’s election departments.

Memorial Day weekend (or Urban Beach Weekend depending on who you ask) has become a controversial time of year in the 305, especially in Miami Beach.

Leaders have consistently ramped up police enforcement and lamented the amount of big parties thrown to draw in big crowds of tourists — a move that critics say discourages tourists of color from visiting the city.

Alexis Brown says that narrative is changing this year. She and other local event planners and curators like Octavia Yearwood and Michelle Polissaint are organizing events meant to reshape the narrative about black visitors to Miami Beach and to encourage black locals to engage with great art and music without feeling ostracized.
