That's the same amount of arrests as were made last year during the event. In 2019, 35 people were arrested.

Miami Fire Rescue officials said Sunday that 49 people were medically evaluated, with 15 of those transported to the hospital.

All had non-life threatening conditions at the time of transport, officials said.
