Anticipation has been building for months now, but we are finally only four days away from the 3rd annual Ultimate Music Experience. Disco Donnie Presents, Global Groove, and Sugar Society are dedicated to making sure we are providing a safe environment for everyone attending the three day event. Many of you have questions about our zero tolerance guidelines, being searched on entry, or on-site medical care, so we have compiled a list of Do’s and Dont’s to help make your Spring Break vacation run as smoothly as possible.

Zero Drug Use or Possession Policy

The use or possession of any illegal drugs or substances will not be tolerated anywhere inside or outside the venue. Narcotics officers will be working both areas and enforcing all drug related laws. Do not bring any illegal substances to the event as violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. If you are found inebriated at the door, security will not allow you to enter the venue. Event staff reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone. Please come with a smile and be prepared to enjoy an afternoon and evening full of music, dancing, and the full festival experience of the UME.
