First Annual Pocono Raceway Festival Coming to Downtown Stroudsburg June 6th

Festival Hosted by the Pocono’s leading art center and community theater…the Sherman Theater

The Sherman Theater will host the first ever Pocono Raceway Festival in downtown Stroudsburg on June 6th, celebrating racing in the Pocono Mountains with a variety of food, games, show cars, and live music.

Pocono Raceway Festival is designed to showcase all the great retail, food and other attractions downtown Stroudsburg has to offer. The event will augment and support the festivities and events taking place as NASCAR, ARCA and other racers come back to the Pocono Mountains. The festival will feature  numerous NASCAR vehicles on display  including Best Buy, Coors Light and Geico and the official Pocono Raceway Pace car to name a few.

This event has something for everyone, whether you like quarter midgets, full blown NASCAR or anything in between, the only place you will see more cars is at the Track. If you don’t like racecars, no problem, with nearly 200 different vendors and store fronts with sidewalk sales and specials, you can get some great deals while strolling our Historic Borough. Try your luck at the Best Buy racing Simulators, the Pocono Stock Car experience tire changing games. Check out the hottest Harley Davidsons with Schoch’s Harley or race a mini NASCAR on our scaled down Tricky triangle, provided by Hobby Town USA.

Come on out as our community Honors NASCAR and its Drivers on this special day. NASCAR president Mike Helton will be on hand with other invited guests to accept the award.

No event is complete without great food. Visit one of the 20 different vendors and restaurants who will showcase food from sushi to steak and from burgers to handmade Ice Cream. Downtown Stroudsburg has it all. The music will run throughout the day on numerous stages around the town with some of the best music in the region. If that’s not enough stick around as your community theater presents, for the first time ever, a free concert on Main Street featuring The Marshall Tucker Band! The entire day is free and is the culmination of a full weekend of events brought starting with the Dark Star Orchestra Concert inside the Sherman on Thursday. Join all your favorite racers and crew as they party with the only band capable of “recreating a Grateful Dead Experience”

Come join us as downtown Stroudsburg rolls out the red carpet for Racers, Shoppers, Diners and Music lovers on this special day.
