Foxtoberfest (2021)
With Halloween fast approaching, it’s time for Mustang enthusiasts to treat themselves to something out of the ordinary. If you think taking a road trip to attend a big car show on Halloween weekend is crazy, well … it is! Crazy like a Fox — as in Foxtoberfest, a show consisting entirely of cars that ride on the 1978-93 Ford Fox-Body platform. This year marks the show’s 10th anniversary, and organizers expect it will be the biggest and best yet, appealing not only to a large portion of the Fox-Body owner base, but to all Mustang fans as well. Spanning four days, Fox fans can enjoy a large variety of activities such as an open house at Fox Mustang Restoration, a cruise, poker run, Fox-Body YouTuber meet & greet, a hotel kick-off party complete with a costume contest, and of course the main event of over 500 Fox Bodies on display at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This show is unique not only because of the niche that it serves, but also because every Fox Body Ford is welcome regardless of condition. You’ll see low-mileage originals next to multi-colored projects. There are typical trophies for class winners like “Best Original 1987-93” and “Best Non-Mustang Fox,” but the show also awards an upholstery set to the vehicle that is “Most in Need of Upholstery” to help support those who are trying to save a Fox and bring it back to its original glory. So head over to the event website www.foxtoberfest.com to get all the details, then book a stay in Concord, North Carolina, from October 27-30 to experience the pride of Fox Body ownership and share the passion that continues to grow in the Fox community.
