Chec out what what's poppin central has to say about Urban Beach Week.
The Place: Miami Beach, Florida
What exactly is Urban Beach Week?
Urban Beach Week, a.k.a Memorial Day weekend, on Miami?s south beach is one of the premier summertime events for over 250,000 young African American Adults ages 22-30.
Urban professionals convene on the beach to partake in a relaxing 4 days of networking, business card passing, and seminars.
Sike!!
They come to party, see the sights and sounds of Miami, party and did we mention the over 100 celebrity parties. Yeah it's that serious.
What happens at the event?
Its one of the only places you can really expect to see many of your favorite celebrities just hanging out and having fun with everyone else.
The actual event occurs on 3 main streets in South Beach Miami. They are Ocean, Collins, and Washington Ave?s. Now if you're on a budget, mostly you will spend 3 to 4 days walking the strip taking in the sights and sounds of the Miami and Urban beach Week vibe. If you have a bit of money you will be in the 100?s of specialty shops and dining restaurants. You will be in the VIP area?s mingling with celebrities, taking tours and so on.
What types of activities happen during Urban Beach Week?
There are plenty of things to get into during the event. Sign up for the newsletter to get the latest and greatest. www.whatspoppincentral.com www.pegsonline.com/Miami-party-pass.html
Do I need a party pass?
Yes, this year the Urban Beach Week weekend passes are a must for this weekend. Again, sign up for the newsletter for more info on how to get them. www.whatspoppincentral.com
What do the passes get me into?
Several of the hottest parties happening that weekend
Where exactly in Miami is Urban Beach Week held?
South Beach host the event and the prime locations are the 2000 block and below. Collins/Washington/ Ocean are the main streets. However, some events will be held across the causeways/bridges in downtown MIAMI.
Will I bump into any celebrities?
Seeing celebs - yes - bumping into - not likely, they will have security! LOL
Don't be surprised to see a major artist and entourage sitting a few feet away from you at the same restaurant.
Could one walk outside in the public with alcoholic beverages?
Technically it is allowed, at least if you buy a drink from Wet Willie's and Fat Tuesday's and they let you walk around with it. Last year people were outside Wet Willie's with their drinks. While we don't condone breaking laws, I would suggest bring a water or Coke bottle (better safe than sorry) or whatever to disguise incase the Miami beach P.D. decides to change the rules for the weekend, it could happen. I would not suggest walking with an open beer or large bottle of liquor, as MBPD will selectively ticket you for an open container, but might not do the same for walking with a drink from an establishment on Ocean Drive. You will see big road signs that say no open containers in flashing lights - they put them out for special events.
What do visitors do more? Hang out and chill on the strip or go partying at a club?
Due to the ridiculous amount of people coming to the event, even if the clubs are full to capacity (and they will be) lots of people will be out on the streets, at pool parties, or hotel parties.
Does jet skiing sound like a good idea?
Whatever floats your boat. It can be a little expensive though. It's an activity to occupy your day!!!!!
What are the age restrictions in the clubs, if there are any?
Most drinking establishments require ID...21 and over. Some of the clubs have dress codes...no sneakers, wife beaters, baseball caps...maybe even jeans.
What's the weather like?
I heard it gets extremely hot. Basically, Florida is warm or hot all year long. You might want to visit http://www.tropicsweather.com /welcomeft.html to view the forecast for the days, weeks and month. Dress accordingly.
Is it better to fly or drive?
That is up to you. If you can afford it, book a plane to either Miami or Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. We say check and compare the 2 but keep in mind that the cost from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla to Miami is about 60-80 bucks.
I need a rental car, what do I do?
