Your Guide to Mustang Week 2021 in Myrtle Beach
If you’ve been to Myrtle Beach in the summertime, you probably know all about bike weeks.
They’re a staple of a Grand Strand summer. But did you know there is also a week devoted to lovers of Ford Mustangs and SVTs (Special Vehicle Teams)? Mustang Week, now in its 20th year, happens Sept. 6-12 this year.
Every day is a bit different from the previous for an incredible week, and enthusiasts come from coast to coast to experience it. Participants often arrive in Myrtle Beach the weekend before the event just to enjoy a getaway a bit longer. In this post you’ll learn about registering your Mustang, the event schedule, and more.
