If you are over 21 and headed to the Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, this weekend, you could win a 2018 Mustang. By registering for Ford’s Ride and Drive experience, you are enrolled in a sweepstakes to win the forthcoming Mustang, and who wouldn’t want to win a new pony car?
This year’s festival is packing in a host of musical artists from Diana Ross to Chance The Rapper. It features major corporate backing from companies like Coca Cola and Walmart. Likewise, Ford has long had a big presence at the festival with displays and ride and drives. The 2017 Ford GT even made an appearance in last year’s Ford display.

Just sign up online or in person at the festival for the Ride & Drive experience, and you’ll be entered to win. You must be at least 21 years old and present at the festival to win.
The festival kicks off on Thursday June 29 and you can expect to see the 2018 Mustang holding court in the Ford display. If you are the lucky winner of the sweepstakes, you can drive away in a pony car worth up to $35,000. Interestingly, the contest rules say the new Mustang will be available for purchase on September 25, 2017…
The sweepstakes ends on July 2 and you must be present at the festival to win. If you meet all those criteria, you have until 11:59 p.m. eastern daylight time tonight to RSVP online here. For more on the rules you can visit the official page here.
