Event background:
Every year, tens of thousands of spring breakers make their way to UME to enjoy the sounds of world-class artists. Though events of similar magnitude often charge hundreds of dollars for a general admission ticket, fans can enjoy the Ultimate Music Experience for an action-packed two-day event.
One of the charms of UME, is that South Padre Island offers a diversity of local activities framed with natural beauty. Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and Laguna Madre, the island’s breeze and breathtaking sunsets are just an added bonus to the wide array of restaurants, water sports, live music hot spots, bars, and activities every visitors and spring breakers alike can choose from. Because of S. Padre’s Island’s prominence as a spring break destination, UME attendees are advised to book hotel accommodations early.
