A smashing success on the West Coast and named “Best Event” by Hot Bikemagazine, LOST HIGHWAY™ Motorcycle Show & Concert was founded in 2015 by bike & music enthusiast John M. Oakes (CEO-From The Roots–the venue management/real estate company that owns and operates POCONOS PARK.

“We are thrilled for the LOST HIGHWAY™ Motorcycle Show & Concert to launch on the East Coast! We will be showcasing the finest bikes and some of the best riding the East Coast has to offer,” states Oakes, “…with great music all weekend long!” he adds. “However, the window is closing to take advantage of early pricing discounts, enter the LOST HIGHWAY sweepstakes, and enter our Battle of the Bands competition to be part of the musical lineup that includes Lynyrd Skynyrd.” He suggests, “so, maybe put that tax refund to good use and let the good times roll in the Poconos!”

LOST HIGHWAY™ Motorcycle Show & Concert’s Sweepstakes tickets are still available through Sunday evening. Fans can win a VIP trip for two to see Lynyrd Skynyrd at LOST HIGHWAY™ Motorcycle Show & Concert (including flights, hotel, a backstage tour, and more), PLUS a 2023 Harley-Davidson Road Glide Special from Poconos Mountain Harley-Davidson customized by Steve Edgar from Speed Kings Cycle Supply (or $20,000 in cash–your choice)! Proceeds go to The Warrior Built Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides vocational and recreational therapy to combat veterans and wounded warriors. A $50 donation is suggested to greatly increase your chance of winning.
