Getting around during Miami Music Week
- WMC is the industry conference at Kimpton EPIC; Ultra Music Festival is the ticketed festival at Bayfront Park, roughly 0.4 miles away. They overlap on the calendar but serve different crowds.
- The free Miami Metromover has a station within a few blocks of all five hotels. It does not reach Wynwood or Midtown, so take a rideshare to showcases there.
- Rideshare surge pricing spikes after midnight during Miami Music Week. Walking back to any of these hotels from the Kimpton EPIC takes under 6 minutes, so you can skip the surge.
