Mercedes-Benz vehicles are invited to join us in the Central Lot (not the Exhibit Lot or Spectator Lot, look for the banners on the gates/bike racks. for guidance from 7:30-10:30 a.m. Once your vehicle is in the Central Lot your vehicle must remain until 10 a.m. Staging for the event begins at 6:30 a.m.
From Caffeine and Octane Jax "If you're displaying your vehicle, and you hope to be in the Central Lot, we suggest that you arrive by 7 am, at the latest." (https://www.firstcoastcarculture.com/caffeineandoctane/). Seriously, arrive early for the best spots.
Chick-fil-A opens at 7:30 a.m. so you can grab some coffee and breakfast. Additional beverage and food trucks are typically onsite at the event for more options!
Aim for Gate 2 or Gate 3, to the slight left of the Exotics Lot if approaching from the Southside Blvd main entrance of The Avenues Mall. The food court entrance is between the Central Lot parking area and Forever 21 department store, very convenient to where we will be staged in front of the Furniture Source anchor store. If you are not able to remain in the Central Lot until 10 a.m., please park in the Exhibit Lot or Spectator Lot, and come say hi!
No official registration is needed. All Mercedes-Benz and drivers are welcome to join us, No MBCA Membership needed to park with us, this is a public event!
