The Action of Mustang Week Never Stops! The Official “Unofficial” Events List

For over 20 years, Mustang Week has been the premier destination for Mustang enthusiasts looking to take a vacation and enjoy the Mustang hobby. In its 23rd year, Mustang Week, presented by CELSIUS and Hardee’s, is gearing up to host one of the largest shows in its history. This year, the event will feature five official Mustang Week events: the Kickoff Party, Coyote Bash, Pony Up, the Official Car Show, and the Cruise-In. However, the fun doesn’t end there. As you’ve likely seen from past events, Mustang Week enthusiasts love to keep the action going with “unofficial events” hosted before and after the main five. Below the official events, you’ll find a list of where to catch the “unofficial” Mustang Week action all week long.

Official Mustang Week Events

Monday, September 1 – Official Kick-Off Party

Mustang Week roars to life with the official Kick-Off Party at The Landing at the Boathouse. From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., it’s all about catching up with fellow Mustang lovers, checking out sweet rides, grabbing some food and drinks, jamming to live music, and picking up your registration gear. It’s the perfect way to ease into an action-packed week. Arrive at any time during the event as Mustang parking will be plentiful in the area. 

Tuesday, September 2 – Coyote Bash

The energy ramps up at the legendary Suck, Bang, Blow from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the Coyote Bash. While Coyote-powered Mustangs get priority parking, every generation and build is welcome. It’s a high-octane evening of Mustangs, music, good eats, and nothing but good vibes with the Ford crowd. A Mustang Week provided shuttle will run from the mall lot for those looking to enjoy Coyote bash without getting behind the wheel. 

Wednesday, September 3 – Pony Up at the Grand Prix

Looking for family-friendly fun? Head to Broadway Grand Prix between 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. for Pony Up at the Grand Prix — a Mustang-themed takeover loaded with go-karts, arcade games, mini golf, carnival rides, and more. There’s something for every age group from rookies to pros, and the Mustang Week merch booth will be fully stocked. Grab your tickets at a discounted price from the Mustang Week registration page.

Friday, September 5 – Official Mustang Week Car Show Presented by CESIUS and Hardees

The crown jewel of Mustang Week takes over Myrtle Beach Mall from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.. The Official Mustang Week Car Show brings together hundreds of Mustangs — classic to modern — with judged classes, a dyno challenge presented by AMSOIL, vendors, music, and tons of merch. Whether you’re showing or spectating, this is the heart of the action. Haven’t grabbed your spot yet? Be sure to register here to get in the show or reserve your dyno time!

Saturday, September 6 – All Ford Cruise-In

Wrap up the week with the massive All Ford Cruise-In back at Myrtle Beach Mall from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.. Open to all Ford-powered rides, it’s a laid-back send-off packed with cool cars, music, vendors, and an award ceremony to close out another legendary Mustang Week. New to the 2025 edition of Mustang Week will include vendors choice awards, which will be selected from attendees of the Saturday All Ford Cruise-In.
