Statement by The Virginia Key Beach Park Trust About

Ultra Music Festival

Public spaces have become an important topic of discussion for many communities around the country. They are not only parks, they are also key physical elements that shape our cities and help define our community identity.

Historic Virginia Key Beach Park (HVKBP) is a unique historic public recreational space with an important cultural history for everyone to explore and enjoy.

The City of Miami administration took the lead on the 2019 Ultra Music Festival negotiations. The Ultra Music Festival proposal was approved by a 4-1 City Commission vote allowing the use of the Flex Park/Historic Miami Marine Stadium area, portions of Historic Virginia Key Beach Park and other city owned property on Virginia Key.

The Virginia Key Beach Park Trust is committed to working with City of Miami officials, Ultra Music Festival and local stakeholders to protect and preserve the historic and environmental elements on Historic Virginia Key Beach Park and the island of Virginia Key.

We encourage the community to learn more about Historic Virginia Key Beach Park master plan.
