As Ultra Music Festival returned for its 18th year, an estimated 170,000 music-lovers flocked to Bayfront Park to experience the thrill and excitement that Ultra boasts. The “Humans of Ultra” came ready to party, along with some curious fashion choices. For the ladies, overalls, bikini tops, tutus, and “booty shorts” were all the rage. Superhero-inspired t-shirts, graphic tanks, kandi, and other costumes were fashion standards for the men. These enthusiastic individuals ‘came through’ from all over the world, and represented their home countries by flaunting their flags proudly. We set out to photograph as many photos as possible for our own spin of Humans of Ultra.
