Myers Corner: Concerts and Apple Picking

In Myers Corner, activities at a specific location sit alongside topics associated with the Town of Wappinger. Local events include the Wappinger Summer Concert Series and pick-your-own apples at the orchards of Myers Corners. The Town of Wappinger War Memorial and Wappinger Community Day are part of the community-wide calendar. When planning your trip, it is therefore worth considering the event you have in mind and the relevant combination of place, time, and operation: a concert series, an orchard visit, and a community program each raise different planning questions.

Summer Concerts in Myers Corner

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 returns seasonally, but its specific dates vary from year to year. If live music is the reason for your trip, check the calendar for the relevant year and plan your stay around a specific concert date. The season and day of the week provide the recurring framework; the individual date remains crucial to your plans. The park and street corner identify the series’ venue.

Pick Your Own Apples

Visitors can pick their own apples at the orchards of Myers Corners. Unlike the concert series, the specifics of a visit depend on the individual orchard, as operations may vary. Check in advance whether your chosen orchard offers pick-your-own apples at your planned time. If you want to include both activities in your trip, treat them as separate planning items: for a concert evening, the relevant event date matters; for apple picking, availability at the individual orchard matters.

Remembering Those Who Served in the Town of Wappinger

The Town of Wappinger War Memorial stands in Brexel-Schlathaus Park. The nearly 20-foot-tall statue depicts a World War II soldier and is dedicated to all those from the Town of Wappinger who served in wartime for freedom. The depiction and dedication complement one another: alongside the individual figure, the focus is on the members of the community to whom the memorial is dedicated. The statue and its dedication give the memorial a specific context: a historical subject tied to a community-wide act of remembrance.

Community-Wide Events

At the Town of Wappinger level, Wappinger Community Day includes a parade, rides, live music, more than a dozen food trucks, arts and crafts vendors, and fireworks. The event brings together several program elements and differs from the concert series, which focuses on local bands. Dates and programs vary. If you are considering Community Day as a reason for your trip, check the relevant dates and program details for that year before planning your stay around it.
