The festivities begin Sept. 14 with The Stampede, a festival-inspired celebration of all things Mustang that culminates in the global reveal of the new Mustang at 8 p.m. EDT, which will also be on display during the auto show's public days at Huntington Place convention center Sept. 17-25.

Mustang fans, owners and Ford employees who registered for The Stampede can meet at Ford World Headquarters with their Mustang vehicles and parade together to Hart Plaza in Detroit. (Those interested who have registered can also join the party directly at Hart Plaza.) The event will feature music, art, design and eight food trucks ahead of the livestream. Food vouchers will be provided to the first 3,000 registered guests. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the live show starts at 8 p.m.

Those attending The Stampede are encouraged to wear attire inspired by their favorite period in Mustang history, from the 1960s through today, to celebrate every decade of the car's existence. The top costumes will earn prizes, including a two-year lease of an all-new Mustang GT for the first place winner.
