ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Jeep owners across Florida will take part in a nationwide event this weekend to mark the start of the summer season.<\/p>\n

Barricade Go Topless Day is scheduled for Saturday, May 16.<\/p>\n

Organizers describe it as the largest single-day Jeep event in the world.<\/p>\n

Now in its 19th year, the event brings Jeep owners, clubs and community organizers together to remove their vehicle tops and celebrate open-air driving.<\/p>\n

Events are planned across Florida, all 50 U.S. states and six countries, according to organizers.<\/p>\n

Go Topless Day also supports local charities. Since the event began, organizers said it has raised $1.5 million for charitable causes. This year, organizers hope to surpass $2 million.<\/p>\n

The event was founded in 2007 and has been led by Turn5\/Barricade since 2019.<\/p>\n
