Mustang Week 2026 is revving up to be one of the largest events we’ve ever hosted and we couldn’t be more excited. From August 24–29, 2026, Charlotte will become the center of the Ford and Mustang universe for six days of events, competition, community, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re coming to watch, compete, or simply soak it all in, Mustang Week in Charlotte, NC is going to be one for the books. Now, we’re turning up the experience even more with VIP ticket packages for the entire week.
The Week at a Glance
Mustang Week Charlotte has something for everyone. Several events are completely free to attend, including the Kick-Off Party, the Karting & Ice Cream Social at K1 Speed, and the Mustang Week Games & All-Ford Meet-Up at The Horseshoe in Kannapolis. For those looking to turn it up a notch, ticketed events at Charlotte Motor Speedway and zMAX Dragway bring the full experience to life. Drag racing, roll racing, autocross, burnout competitions, a Track Day on the ROVAL, ride-alongs, a Poker Run, dyno competition, cruise-ins, and the iconic Official Mustang Week Car Show. It’s six days of everything we love about Mustangs, all in one event.
Why You Should Go VIP
If you want to experience Mustang Week Charlotte at its absolute best, the VIP ticket is the way to do it. VIP gives you all-access admission to all Mustang Week venues, but it’s the exclusive perks that really set it apart. VIPs get access to the VIP Suite and VIP Grandstand seating in the Monster Energy Zone at zMAX, a dedicated VIP entry lane, plus a premium air-conditioned bathroom trailer, because comfort matters when you’re spending the day in the Carolina sunshine.
On top of that, every VIP ticket includes a limited-edition merchandise package you won’t find anywhere else: a Mustang Week shirt or hat of your choice, an exclusive sling bag, keychain, VIP lanyard, poker chip, and stickers. The Merch Fast Pass alone is worth it during peak hours if you plan on picking it up at the show.
VIP tickets are limited and available while supplies last, this isn’t a “we’ll get around to it” kind of purchase.
Early Bird Pricing & A Word of Warning
Early Bird discounts are available until July 1 where you can save $10 per ticket by registering early. General single-day tickets will be available at the gate at zMAX for attendees. For those looking to participate in any form of motorsports at Mustang Week, we highly recommend you purchase your Participant ticket as soon as possible as these spaces WILL fill up quickly.
