Sweet holy Jesus, it's Friday, y'all! For five grueling days we've been schlepping on with our ridiculously mundane lives. But finally -- yes, finally -- we've arrived at the best part of the week: the weekend! Oh, weekend, how we love thee.
Anyway, have you prepped your livers for all the alcohol this weekend? Have you plenty of bottled water to rid you of the toxins from whatever pills you pop? Hey, we're not shy, and we're definitely not ignorant. Ultra's this weekend, so at the very least, prep your corneas for abundant sightings of glitter and spandex everywhere. Take a cab, walk, or bike where you can. And don't forget: Biscayne Boulevard northbound near Downtown is closed for the fest.
Are we leaving anything out? Oh, yeah, have an effing amazing time.
So, without further ado, here are the 10 best things to do in our soon-to-be liquid glitter-covered and neon spandex-infested city.
Friday
- Ultra Music Festival: It's like an atom bomb on crack. Or, that's what'll be going on in your head, at least.
- Hardwell Presents Revealed: You know you were all over Beatport trying to get your hands on his tracks.
- Mark Knight Presents Toolroom Knights: Reppin' Scandinavian tourists everywhere!
- Mixmag in Miami w Steve Aoki, Pendulum, Chase & Status: Debaucheries include The Lion King music and free vodka shots.
- No. 19 Social Experiment/Supernature: Northeastern duo Soul Clap bringing old school jams all night long.

Keep Miami New Times Free... Since we started Miami New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Miami, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Miami with no paywalls.
