Memorial Day Weekend marks the unofficial start of the summer for many Americans, and tens of thousands of them will travel to Miami for the city’s famed holiday celebrations. The city's hotels will be packed with revelers who come to attend the city’s weekend events.

More than 1.9 million people will travel in and out of Florida for Memorial Day Weekend -- a 5 percent increase compared with 2014, the Miami Herald reports. More than 600,000 of those travelers will pass through Miami International Airport alone, and Miami Beach hotels expect to reach roughly 82 percent capacity.

“The nature of any of these big holiday weekends is this does tend to be a rather last-minute group,” the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau chief marketing officer Rolando Aedo told the Miami Herald.

Miami officials are taking measures to ensure Memorial Day Weekend will remain a safe one, including changes to local traffic protocols, the employment of 250 civilian “Goodwill Ambassadors” and additional DUI checkpoints on major roads, the Miami Herald reports. But that doesn’t mean the city won’t be ready to party. Here is a look at some of Miami’s Memorial Day weekend events, courtesy of Miami.com and the Miami New Times.

1. The Pérez Art Museum Miami will hold a Memorial Day outdoor BBQ from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. EDT on Monday, May 25. The event will include drink specials and a performance by a band called the Wynwoods. Active members of the U.S. military and their families can attend the BBQ for free. Other attendees will have to pay a $16 entrance fee.
