You had Ultra plans, but it got canceled. What are you going to do now? Tell us

When Miami government officials postponed Ultra Music Festival this week, they confirmed that the three-day electronic dance music event will not go on as scheduled March 20-22 at Bayfront Park.

The city pushed for the postponement amid fears of the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes the disease known as COVID-19.

A city commissioner confirmed the postponement Wednesday. City officials and Ultra organizers are expected to announce details Friday morning.

Ultra attracts a large crowd from across the U.S. and world. With lineups announced and the opening less than a month away, the change in plans is too late for many travelers to cancel bookings without taking a hit. Some Twitter users said they planned on coming to Miami anyway. Others said they’ll stay home.

If you had planned to attend Ultra this year, we want to hear from you. If you’re local, how are you adjusting your plans? If you’re still coming to town, are you looking for other activities to fill your weekend? Or are you canceling travel plans? Tell us what you’re going to do at the form below. We’ll be in touch.
