Spring Breakers have shifted their celebrations from Miami to Fort Lauderdale, following the enforcement of a curfew in Miami Beach aimed at reducing unruly behavior and fatal shootings, particularly over St. Patrick's Day weekend. The curfew, which was upheld by a judge despite requests from South Beach nightclubs to lift it, has reportedly led to a significant decrease in disorderly crowds and violence. However, this crackdown has also impacted local businesses, with clubs in Miami Beach claiming losses of up to $500,000 due to the reduced number of partiers. Over 250 arrests have been made in Miami Beach as police manage the spring break chaos.
