Ford’s Mustang officially turns 50 on April 17, 2014 and as you may have expected the Blue Oval has a lineup of events planned to help celebrate the anniversary. It won’t be when the covers come off the new 2015 Mustang, as the sixth-generation car is set for a reveal on December 5, 2013.

It will, however, be when Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] kicks off a five-day long celebration that will include a wide range of events from car cruises to live bands, ride-and-drives, exhibits, celebrity appearances and open-track exhibitions.
The event is so large that Ford will be hosting it at two locations: Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. It is being organized together with the Mustang Club of America
