In Myers Corner, you can listen to local bands at the Wappinger Summer Concert Series. Apple picking in the orchards, on the other hand, refers to Myers Corners. For planning, it is especially helpful to understand the difference between a seasonal event series and the varying offerings at individual orchards.
Apple Orchards and Summer Concerts
Visitors can pick their own apples at the orchards in Myers Corners. Since individual orchards’ offerings can vary, plan around the specific orchard. This is a useful starting point if picking apples is the main focus of your visit.
The Wappinger Summer Concert Series takes place on Thursdays from June through August at Brexel-Schlathaus Park, at the corner of Myers Corners Road and All Angels Hill Road; local bands perform there. The series is seasonal and recurring, but the specific dates vary from year to year. Check the dates for the relevant year if you are planning a concert as a fixed reason for your visit. When choosing dates, both the day of the week and the specific dates for that year therefore matter.
These two activities involve different planning considerations: for the concert series, the calendar for that year matters; for apple picking, it is the offerings of the individual orchard. If you would like to combine both, coordinate these aspects independently.
A Memorial in the Town of Wappinger
The Town of Wappinger War Memorial stands in the Town of Wappinger: a nearly six-meter-tall statue of a World War II soldier. It is dedicated to everyone from the Town of Wappinger who served in the war for freedom. For travelers interested in local memorial culture, both the figure depicted and the place-specific dedication shape the character of the memorial.
Community Events
An announcement from July 2026 planned Country Line Dancing Nights in the Town of Wappinger for the first Wednesday evening of each month. Food trucks were planned, along with the opportunity to learn line dancing or watch. The announced event thus offered different ways to take part in the dance evening: learning the steps or watching.
Wappinger Community Day features a parade, rides, live music, more than a dozen food trucks, arts and crafts booths, and fireworks. This is a broader event format than a single music or dance activity. Dates and programming vary, so check the specific offerings if you plan to time your trip around Community Day.
Planning Your Stay
When looking for a vacation rental, your intended reason for visiting can serve as a starting point for choosing your travel dates. For a concert, align your stay with the date for the relevant year; for apple picking, plan around the visiting opportunities offered by the orchard you choose.
