Skytop Lodge

Skytop Lodge is one of the most iconic resorts in the country, a historic Pocono Mountains destination with a legacy of hospitality that spans generations. When Skytop decided to host its first-ever music festival, it partnered with Rhythm to make it happen. We produced a scaled-up music festival with talent, stage, sound, lighting production and entertainment worthy of the resort's reputation.

The Brief

A first festival at a historic resort carries high expectations. Skytop needed an event that honored the character of the property while delivering a modern, high-quality festival experience. The production had to work within the resort's grounds and operations, and the lineup had to appeal to a broad audience of guests and visitors.

What Rhythm Delivered

Rhythm planned and produced the festival from the ground up.

• Festival concept and programming for a first-time event

• Talent booking and lineup curation

• Stage design and build on the resort grounds

• Sound production and lighting for a scaled-up festival

• Entertainment programming across the event

• Coordination with the resort's operations and hospitality teams

The Result

Skytop Lodge launched its first music festival with production that matched its iconic status. Guests experienced live music in one of the most beautiful settings in the region, and the resort gained a new signature event that can drive visits and bookings for years to come.

Why Historic Resorts Choose Rhythm

Historic and luxury resorts have a responsibility to protect their brand while staying relevant to new generations of guests. A well-produced music festival accomplishes both, introducing the property to new audiences while giving returning guests a fresh reason to visit.

Rhythm brings the expertise needed to launch a festival successfully. We have produced more than 30 festivals and understand everything that goes into a first-year event, from building the lineup and designing the stage to managing sound and lighting in outdoor environments.

We also understand resort operations. Our team works closely with hospitality, grounds and events staff to ensure the festival enhances the guest experience rather than disrupting it.

A first-year festival also sets the template for everything that follows. Rhythm built a format that Skytop can repeat and grow, from the stage location and sound plan to the lineup structure and guest flow. That foundation makes year two easier to plan, easier to promote and even better for the guests who return. The goal was never a single great day. It was the start of a new tradition for one of the most storied resorts in the region.
