Five iconic Mercedes-AMG G-Classes will be on display to showcase tailgating at its finest, in a variety of vibrant colors available in the exclusive AMG Performance Studio Edition package.

Also at the event, Wheels Up partner Psycho Bunny will present a collaboration with artist James Goldcrown, known for his "Bleeding Hearts/LoveWall" murals.
