Mustang Week 2025, presented by CELSIUS and Hardee’s, was one for the history books!
The turnout blew us away—thousands of Mustangs and Fords rolled in over the week, more than 35,000 enthusiasts, and over 50 vendors made their way to Myrtle Beach to celebrate the cars we love.
From sunrise cruise-ins to late-night meetups, the energy never dipped — just pure passion, killer builds, and wall-to-wall Ford pride. Seeing that sea of Mustangs—whether vintage classics, modern muscle, road course warriors, or street legends — all in one spot was nothing short of amazing.
This wasn’t just another car show; it was the gathering Mustang fans won’t forget. Huge thanks to everyone who came out, every sponsor of Mustang Week, and all those who celebrated our shared passion for the Ford Mustang the right way.
If you weren’t able to get to every event this year, we have the coverage stockpiled from our friends at FordMuscle! Check out their coverage 👇

Mustang Week 2025, presented by CELSIUS and Hardee’s, roared to life with the HP Tuners Kick-Off Party at The Landing at the Boathouse, setting the tone for an epic week ahead. From the moment Mustangs started lining the streets, the scene was pure magic—sunshine, the rumble of engines, and even the sweet hint of E85 in the air. An estimated 1,500 cars rolled through, spanning every generation, as fans grabbed food, drinks, and official merch while catching up with old friends. With Cobra Sam hosting and a laid-back vibe all around, it was the perfect start to Mustang Week, reminding everyone why this event has become a Ford faithful tradition. Get the full story here.

Coyote Bash Presented by HP-Tuners:
Coyote Bash Presented by HP Tuners tore into Suck Bang Blow in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, with Ford’s 5.0-liter Coyote-powered Mustangs taking center stage. Priority parking lets owners show off their builds while the rest of the lot is filled with Mustangs of all kinds, supported by overflow parking and shuttles for the crowds. Those in attendance would have seen Vaughn Gittin Jr’s Mustang GTD, which could possibly be the first time the supercar hit the grounds of Mustang Week!
Beyond the cars, fans enjoyed food, drinks, music, and high-energy competitions like the Rev-Off and Glow-Off, making it a full-on celebration of modern Coyote muscle and Mustang Week’s electric community vibe. Dive into Coyote Bash here.
