Memorial Day Miami 2010 a/k/a/ Urban Week Week 2010 will take place May 27 – May 31, 2010, on the sunny beaches of South Beach ( Miami Beach, FL ). Last year saw a slight reduction in the crowd size, but it was the largest black event of 2009.

Where should I stay for Memorial Day Miami 2010?

The area where all the haps happen is: Lincoln Road to 5th Street (North to South) and from Ocean Drive to Washington Avenue (East to West). There are some historic Art Deco themed hotels on Ocean Drive, these hotels will have you in the middle of the action the entire weekend. They fill up quickly, but don’t worry – Any hotel in Downtown Miami or on Collins Avenue up to 41st Street will have you close enough.

Details of artists, club specials and more coming soon.

The BCR crew are back in the building ready to bring you the hot news for 2010’s spring break season! Last year saw crowd reductions at all major events… This year the crowd totals should start to bounce back. On that note: I got an email asking if its true that BET will be bringing their Spring Bling concert back to Daytona. The short answer: I don’t know. The long answer: Sadly, the internet makes it really easy for people to fabricate stories without consequence. I believe shady promoters do this to make a quick dollar, but hey… I can’t say for sure. I do have a contact at BET and I will correspond with her tomorrow and see what she says. For the last couple of years BET has held it’s Spring Bling concert in Riviera Beach, FL. Based on crowd size and accommodations in the area I would not be surprised if they chose a more ‘commercial’ or ‘happening’ spot. Daytona has history no doubt, but the final say so on this issue is in the hands of BET.

Stay tuned, I will update you as soon as I hear something.
