PLAINS TWP. — Tribute band fans rejoice!

Mohegan Sun Pocono Thursday announced the return of Party on the Patio.

Every Thursday from June 3, to Sept. 2, guests will be able to enjoy live entertainment, experience a variety of food truck options, and stay refreshed with drink specials.

As always, there will be no cover charge at Party on the Patio.

“We’re really excited to bring back Party on the Patio at Mohegan Sun Pocono starting on Thursday, June 3, with Black Dog, a Tribute to Led Zeppelin,” said David Parfrey, VP of Marketing for Mohegan Sun Pocono. “Hosting fans once again at our long-running outdoor entertainment series is a big milestone — and we’re thrilled about the opportunity to safely deliver these great shows. This will be one of the best lineups of live bands Party on the Patio has ever had.”

A news release stated that Mohegan Sun Pocono “remains dedicated to upholding the highest safety standards for all guests and team members.”

The release states all Party on the Patio shows will adhere to state, local and CDC guidelines, including operating at reduced capacity and enforcing social distancing. Masks will be required at all times except while eating or drinking. Entry may be denied due to capacity limits and/or failure to adhere to health and safety standards, which are subject to change.

Party on the Patio was canceled last summer due to the global pandemic, and this summer, “redemption comes in the form of a lineup guests won’t want to miss,” the release stated.

In addition to some of the best tribute bands in the country, Badfish is making their Party on the Patio debut on July 1, with Sublime’s greatest hits. The following week, Almost Queen is set to bring the best of Queen to Mohegan Sun Pocono for the first time since 2016. Almost Queen will also have Philadelphia Freedom opening, who are fellow NEPA natives and a tribute to Elton John.

Local food trucks will be featured each week, and Tony Luke’s will also be serving classic Philly cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks all summer long. Coors Light, Blue Moon and a variety of spirits and mixed drinks will also be available.

Party on the Patio performances do not have a cover and doors open at 6:30 p.m. The bands start rockin’ at 7:30 p.m. All attendees must be 21 and over and valid identification is required for entry.
