The Venice community turned out in full force for our first stop, which included R2 walkarounds with members of Rivian's Exterior Design team, a rare chance to hear from the people who designed the vehicle and learn about the features that define it. In between sessions, guests also had the chance to explore R2 vehicles in available colorways at their own pace.
In addition to R2, Rivian's in-house Culinary Team hosted an interactive cooking demonstration, showcasing the versatility of outdoor cooking and immersive lifestyle R2 enables by preparing charred peas with mint pesto and ricotta toast from locally sourced ingredients. On Saturday evening, The Wild Honey Pie hosted an intimate concert with STRFKR and cellist yeemz, while guests enjoyed Prince St. pizza.
The R2 party is just getting started! We’re coming to Denver, Chicago, and Long Island next, followed by Atlanta, Miami and Nashville, and have a stacked lineup of events planned for each city. Check out our website for the full schedule and to sign up! We can’t wait to see you there.
Reserve your R2 and get updates on production, upcoming events, demo drives in your area and more as we get closer to bringing R2 to the road.
