What began nine years ago as a car show has evolved into what organizers and attendees are calling “the ultimate Mopar® experience.” Mopar Heaven, celebrating its ninth year in 2025, has transformed from an event into a destination. This three-day immersive experience has Mopar enthusiasts from across the country planning their vacations around it.
“It has now been nine years of work,” explains Pedro, one of the event’s organizers. “And just like we know with our vehicles, the project is never done. The mods never stop.”
That philosophy has driven Mopar Heaven’s evolution from a simple car show into what another organizer, Jesse, describes as “more of a destination than just a weekend event.” The growth has been organic but intentional, with organizers continuously asking, “What’s next?” after each year’s success.
The careful curation of the experience separates Mopar Heaven from other automotive events. The best way I can describe what happens during the three-day Mopar overload is it’s the vehicular event equivalent to a concierge-level cruise. It’s carefully curated with a dedicated staff ready to hold your hand and ensure you get everywhere you need to be and experience everything you want to experience. But the event is still yours to make of it what you will.
Behind the custom builds, a MASSIVE car show inside Texas Motor Speedway, drifting and drag racing, 300-car police-escorted cruise to Yello Belly Drag Strip, Mopar Bingo and so much more lies the real engine of Mopar Heaven: COMMUNITY. The event has become a place where memories are made, relationships are formed and milestones are celebrated.
“There was an engagement, and there was a freaking wedding at our show this year,” Pedro recalls. “All these moments people will forever tie back to our show… anniversaries, moments with family members, car club moments. We get to provide that opportunity for them to come together like that.” If the bride looks familiar, you read Harley’s Tale. If you haven’t checked out her Charger, give it a read when you’re done here. Totally worth it!
This sense of community extends to the team putting on the event. “We are in the woods working to ensure everyone gets the most out of every single moment from when people arrive until they leave,” says Cincita, another of the event’s organizers. The team includes family members, from parents and siblings to nephews and their girlfriends to friends from around the country, creating a labor of love that makes the event feel personal despite its massive scale.
The inclusivity of Mopar Heaven is exemplified by “Ladies in Mopar,” a group founded by Cincita in February 2019. What started as a safe space for female Mopar enthusiasts to ask questions without judgment has grown to nearly 7,000 members in five years. “It’s not a car club,” Cincita clarifies. “It’s just a massive group of Mopar owners who happen to be women who get a safe space to go in and ask the questions they get trolled for on the bigger groups.” The group has a zero-tolerance policy for negativity, immediately removing anyone who criticizes another member’s vehicle. At Mopar Heaven, these women showcase builds that stand toe-to-toe with any at the event. “Some of our Best in Show winners are females,” Pedro notes. “And it isn’t because they’re female – it’s because of the builds they brought in and the work they put into these vehicles.”
The 2025 event saw unprecedented attendance, creating what Pedro called “a good problem” – people so excited to enter the speedway that they arrived before the organizers and formed lines before sunrise. This enthusiasm led to some logistical challenges that the team quickly pivoted to address. “At this size, you cannot put on an event and not have something pop up,” Pedro acknowledges. “The biggest problem we had was people so freaking excited to get inside the speedway that they were jamming us up.”
Despite the challenges of managing such growth, the team is committed to making each year unique. “We don’t want what we’ve created to become stagnant,” Jesse explains. “We want people to experience something different each time they come.”
As impressive as Mopar Heaven 2025 was, the team is already fully immersed in planning for their tenth anniversary in 2026. “The way that we are pushing year ten is that if this was the last show that we ever did, this would be the one to come to,” Pedro reveals, though he quickly clarifies they fully intend to continue beyond that milestone. The organizers remain tight-lipped about specific plans for the anniversary event, but their enthusiasm is palpable. “We’re looking at the biggest, the baddest, the most organized, the coolest, the longest – everything is just going to be dialed to 100,” Pedro promises. If Nigel Tuffnell were asked what he expects Mopar Heaven 10 to be, he would have no choice but to say, “This one goes to 11.” If you get the reference, we just became best friends!
What’s clear is that Mopar Heaven has tapped into something special that transcends typical automotive events. It has created an experience that converts enthusiasts from other brands and leaves attendees driving home – sometimes 20+ hours – already excited for next year.
“One thing that I have experienced over many years is that regardless of how much you love an event, the investment sometimes overtakes the desire to be there,” Pedro reflects. “We want it to be a no-brainer every year that you come out to the show.”
Based on the passion evidenced in 2025, Mopar Heaven is succeeding in that mission, creating what has truly become the Super Bowl of Mopar events – a title bestowed not by the organizers but by the community they’ve built. See you in Texas next year!

One of the best Mopar Events Hands down! Worth the drive all the way from Nebraska! Pedro has always been a great host! You do not want to miss MHX2026!!!

I found out about Mopar Heaven two years ago. My family is a huge part of my Challenger “build”. When we do car shows, we all go- wife and three kids. When it comes to Mopar Heaven we decided two years ago to make a trip out of it. Coming from Southern California and driving to Texas! But it is something that now we look forward to. After the first year we went and were welcomed with open arms. Made friends and to date still keep in touch. When it comes to alot of these events it’s more like a family gathering. It doesn’t matter where you are from we all connect. This show has so much going on that it is hard to see it all! Three days of non-stop entertainment! Can’t wait to see what next year brings!
I discovered Mopar Heaven through an ad about three months before the event, and I knew instantly it was something I had to be part of. I’m just getting started in the Mopar community, so an event like Mopar Heaven felt like a dream come true. I bought my tickets and couldn’t wait to experience it.
At the event, I was beaming the whole time—it was incredible to see so many amazing Mopars and feel the shared passion for these legendary vehicles. I picked up a Mopar Heaven hoodie from the merch stand, and it’s now one of my favorite pieces of clothing. I wear it proudly to show my love and support for what I consider the Super Bowl of car shows! Much love to everyone involved—I can’t wait to be at Mopar Heaven X!
We wait for you all next March 2026 at The Great American Speedway - Texas Motor Speedway!

Thank you to all our friends, supporters, and the incredible team that helped bring this to life. Huge shoutout to the brands we proudly represent-this wouldn’t be possible without you. And remember, everything is Bigger in Texas! See y’all next year as we celebrate our
10-Year Anniversary in a major way!
We’re honored to be recognized as THE
Ultimate Mopar Experience aka The Superbowl of Mopar Events.
The words on this article. The lyrics on the We Are Mopar EP Album. The vibes of this event. The support from our community. Just screams Mopar Heaven. Honored to be one of the lucky individuals to be leading the charge. Thank YOU all for making this possible. From our family to yours. & now we gotta get back to work!
I found out about Mopar Heaven in 2023, I wanted to go bad but I lived in Arizona so the trip to Texas wasn’t really in my budget at the time. Later that year though, I moved to Texas and was sooo excited mainly because now I was able to make it to the event! 2024 was my first time going and driving on the official track for Nascar was such a surreal feeling. I went again in 2025 with my family and we all enjoyed our time, my sister even flew in from Arizona so she can be there for my first time being a vendor. The whole family is looking forward to see what the 10 year anniversary has in store, this time we will go as show only so we can truly enjoy everything they decide to do!
If you only go to one event a year, this would be the one! Best people and best vibes. I can’t wait for the 10th anniversary next year!
Mopar Heaven X will be my 4th time attending this event and to simply say this event is amazing is truly an understatement! It truly is life changing for any Mopar fan! The builds are incredible and seeing so many amazing builds in person and getting to talk to the owners is such a great feeling. And that is one of the greatest parts about this event. Not only is it the “Super Bowl of Mopar” but it is also a Mopar family reunion. There are so many Mopars all over the world and to interact with those that have literally become family through social media and through our love of Mopar is truly one of the best things about this event. I continue to “spread the gospel” of Mopar Heaven and try to convince other Mopar owners to make the trip out to experience this event and not a single one has told me I was wrong when I said this event is on a whole other level when it comes to car shows/events. They all say they will be back for another round and seeing all the amazing builds out there has inspired them to build their own Mopars even more so they can compete on the level that is set by Mopar Heaven. Thank you and keep up the great work! I’ll be there at MHX to definitely turn up the heat once again!
We have been blessed to apart of this experience for years now and we agree. It’s definitely so much more than a show. And what is most special about it is the family that put it together. A group of genuine, loving, caring, helpful people create an experience for families and car lovers alike. This will be a national jewel for years to come.
Hi Sean,
It was great to meet you this year at Mopar Ignite during the Mopar Heaven show. I am so happy to see a picture of the 1971 Challenger on the article. It was priceless to watch you sit in the front, and see your smile when you heard that Hemi fire up. I look forward to running into you again next year and love reading your articles.
