ABOUT MUSTANG WEEK

Mustang Week began in 2002 as a grassroots gathering of Mustang enthusiasts in the Carolinas and quickly grew into the largest Mustang-focused event in the country. Built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, it has always been rooted in community, freedom, and a shared passion for every generation of Mustang.

Today, Mustang Week is a national event series that also features Fabulous Fords. Charlotte carries the legacy of the original event, bringing Mustang Week home to the Carolinas in the heart of NASCAR country. Texas brings that same energy to the Gulf Coast, and in Summer 2027, Mustang Week expands to Southern California, pairing the iconic Fabulous Fords Forever with the immersive Mustang Week experience to create the definitive West Coast Ford celebration.
