Miami Beach wants spring breakers to do squats — not shots — when they come to South Beach this year.
Between the lines:
Now the city is trying to counterprogram spring break parties. It's the second consecutive year the city will host monthlong events in March — dubbed Miami Beach Live! Last March, Miami Beach funded a concert series in Lummus Park and on the beach featuring artists catering to the over-40 crowd, including Juanes and Alanis Morissette. The goal was to draw a broader tourist demographic to the area, beyond college-age party crowds, the city's tourism directorNext year's "fitness month" will include a Major League Baseball fan experience, beach tennis and soccer matches, and a beach volleyball tournament in a pop-up stadium.
There will also be an arts and music festival hosted by Kiwanis Club of Little Havana, as well as smaller events hosted by Nike, Crunch, and RCX Sports.Pierre Rutledge, chair of the Miami-Dade County Black Affairs Advisory Board, called the city's plan a "step in the right direction" but said it does not include any activities geared toward traditional spring break crowds.
"I applaud the mayor and the city commission in Miami Beach, however this is the first time I've seen this," Rutledge told Axios. "We offered to be involved in the process, give our opinions where needed and we were not invited to the table."Axios on facebook
