Luxury automotive brand Energetic Exotics is stepping beyond high-performance vehicles and into cultural programming with City on Ice, a one-night celebrity music experience headlined by Antonio Brown on February 21. Hosted at the company’s headquarters in Tampa, City on Ice transforms a luxury car showroom into a curated nightlife environment that blends music, celebrity, and community engagement. The event signals a broader evolution for Energetic Exotics, positioning the company not just as a rental brand but as a lifestyle platform anchored in experience-driven gatherings. The lineup includes performances from Nino Breeze and Tom G, with hosting duties led by Buckwheat The Host. Organizers are also planning surprise guest appearances, reinforcing the event’s emphasis on visibility and cultural reach. For founders Jessica and Marlon Wentworth, the move into live programming reflects an intentional expansion strategy rooted in community building and brand elevation. “City on Ice is about more than music,” said Jessica Wentworth, CEO and co-founder of Energetic Exotics. “It is about creating a space where Tampa culture, creativity, and community intersect. We want to showcase the energy of this city in a way that feels elevated and unforgettable.” Energetic Exotics has built its reputation around access to high-performance vehicles, including Lamborghinis, Ferraris, McLarens, and Rolls-Royce models. By activating its headquarters as an event venue, the company is leveraging its physical space and brand equity to create cultural moments that extend beyond automotive rentals. City on Ice will take place on Friday, February 21, 2026, at the Energetic Exotics headquarters located at 5460 Beaumont Center Blvd #530 in Tampa. The event is designed to unite Tampa’s creative and cultural community through live music, celebrity appearances, and a high-energy luxury experience that highlights the city’s growing influence in entertainment and lifestyle. As Tampa continues to position itself as a hub for innovation and culture, City on Ice reflects how local brands are building ecosystems that blend commerce, community, and experience under one roof. #Tampa #TampaBay #StPete #Clearwater #ThingsToDo #LocalEvents #Networking #TampaBayConnects #TampaNetworking #WomenInBusiness #TampaEntrepreneurs #Startups #TampaEats #TampaNightlife #DowntownTampa #TampaEvents #TampaSocials #tampaMagazine #TampaBayMagazine TampaBusinessClub.com Tampabayconnects.com WomenImpactNetwork.com TampaBayLatinChamber.com InGateConsulting.com Tampa Bay Connects is a community discovery and media platform.
