Winter Music Conference Highlights: Belvedere, Alizé Host Parties; Ultra Attracts 100,000 Partygoers

D. Channing Muller
March 30, 2010

The 25th annual Winter Music Conference, considered the largest dance and electronic music festival in the world, wrapped up on Sunday following five days of parties and music seminars around Miami. Spirits brands Belvedere Vodka and Alizé and New York nightclub Pacha returned to sponsor V.I.P. lounges, parties in Miami Beach, and a continual lineup of DJs from around the world.

The festival's two-day finale, Ultra Music Festival, attracted double 100,000 people to Bicentennial Park on Friday and Saturday—more than double the attendance in 2009. Here's a look inside the weekend's parties and lounges.
