Over Presidents Day Weekend, Resorts World Miami hosted the Miami Yacht Show.
This was the first year the event was held in downtown Miami. The show formerly took place annually in Miami Beach.
According to a tweet from commissioner Ken Russel, organizers of the event donated $150,000 towards the bay walk. The funds will go towards construction of a path to the Resorts World site from Museum Park (now renamed Maurice Ferre Park) underneath the I-395 Signature Bridge.
