Ultra Music Festival Has Generated Over $1 Billion for Miami's Economy, Mayor Says


Miami’s iconic Ultra is proof that music festivals do a lot more than provide entertainment for fans.

As the 25th anniversary of Ultra Music Festival looms in 2025, the event remains a pillar of Miami’s economy, providing an annual economic boon rivaled by few.

The city’s mayor, Francis Suarez, stated that over Ultra’s 24-year tenure, the fest has generated over $1 billion in revenue for the city. That includes the impact to nearby restaurants, boutiques and other retail and service industry businesses.
