"We're in the good times business, we're bringing the good times with music and motorcycles," said John Oakes with Poconos Park.
Oakes and his team restarted the former Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts in 2022 with its first festival in years; Cowboy Luau.
Now, Poconos Park has some big plans for the '23 season and beyond and it all start with Lost Highway featuring Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Marshall Tucker Band.
"We're excited to bring people together. As we grow with Poconos Park we'll have different themed events," said Oakes. "There is some stuff I can't announce yet, a few things we'll make a public announcement on and annual events that will grow year over year."
Lost Highway is one of those events and you can see why it has lasting power with a partnership with Pocono Mountain Harley-Davidson - the behemoth dealership of Interstate 80 in Tannersville.
"We love to bring the whole community from near from far, we all love motorcycles," said Fallon Lobb with Pocono Mountain Harley-Davidson. "We come together, it's a sense of brotherhood, community. It's what we love to do."
That is why Pocono Mountain Harley Davidson is the starting point for not one, but two charity rides during the Lost Highway weekend and both are for great causes.
"Friday will be the first responders ride, Saturday will be the veterans' ride," she explained. "All the way to Poconos Park and the tickets will include entry to the concert and the festival."
"We are raising money for the local Bushkill Volunteer Fire Company," added Oakes. "A way for us to honor all first responders, bring people together around camaraderie."

"There are so many fun outdoor activities in the Poconos and we are happy to have the region and Poconos Park as home."
