\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGet in losers, we’re going to Ultra.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Miami Downtown Development Authority<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t have to tell you that getting around downtown Miami can be rough when Ultra<\/a> Music Festival is here. Streets close down, traffic moves at snail speed<\/a> and as for parking, you probably shouldn\u2019t even think about it. Not to mention that this year\u2019s festival, which runs Friday to Sunday at Bayfront Park, also coincides with a visit from President Donald Trump, who is among the MAGA figures headlining<\/a> the Saudi investment summit underway at the Faena Hotel & Forum in Miami Beach.<\/p>\n

The Miami Police Department announced<\/a> earlier this week that detours for Ultra<\/a> will begin on Thursday at 9 p.m. and remain in effect until Monday at 7 a.m., with traffic rerouted on parts of Biscayne Boulevard.<\/p>\n

DETOURS FOR ULTRA

Miami-Dade Transit and the Miami Downtown Development Authority (DDA) are trying to make getting around a little easier during the 26th edition of Ultra by extending service hours and offering free rides and walks around town. <\/p>\n

The ride program, Freebee<\/a>, is provided by the DDA and available throughout the Central Business District, Brickell, and the Arts & Entertainment District. You can request a ride by downloading the Freebee app on your phone. Although the cars have been available downtown for a while, the hours of operation will be extended for Ultra, running from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday and 11:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Escorted walks are being provided through the DDA\u2019s Safety Walk program. A Downtown Ambassador<\/a> will meet you and walk you to your destination until 2 a.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can request a walk by calling 305-415-3896.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Transit is also extending its service hours, with Metrorail and Metromover service starting at 5 a.m. and running through 2 a.m. the following morning on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday, the service will end at midnight.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in our Ultra Survival Guide<\/a>, the Brightline is your best bet if you\u2019re coming from Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach. You can even start the party early by taking the Silent Disco<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>Premium Experience, a \u201cone\u2011time, one\u2011direction southbound train\u201d that arrives in Miami shortly before festival gates open at 3:20 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
