Myers Corner: Pick Your Own Apples and Summer Concerts

Two different experiences shape travel planning for Myers Corner: picking your own apples and listening to local bands at the Wappinger Summer Concert Series. The orchards offer an active outing, while the concert series provides a musical evening at Brexel-Schlathaus Park. For both experiences, it’s worth keeping your preferred time frame and the specific dates in mind.

Pick Your Own Apples

At the orchards in Myers Corner, you can pick your own apples. Picking the apples yourself is the focus of the outing. If you want to plan it in advance, check with your preferred orchard to see whether pick-your-own is available on your date: procedures may vary from one orchard to another.

This sequence makes planning easier: first choose your travel dates and preferred outing, confirm the specific picking date, and then look for a vacation rental that fits your plans.

Summer Concerts in the Park

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 day of the week and the summer season provide an initial guide, but the specific concert dates vary from year to year. If you’re planning a concert evening, check the annual calendar and schedule your stay around a confirmed date.

A Memorial in the Town of Wappinger

At Brexel-Schlathaus Park in the Town of Wappinger stands the Town of Wappinger War Memorial: a nearly 20-foot statue of a World War II soldier. It is dedicated to all who served in the war for freedom from the Town of Wappinger. The dedication explicitly links the memorial to people from the community; service and freedom are at the heart of its message.

Wappinger Community Day includes a parade, rides, live music, more than a dozen food trucks, arts and crafts booths, and a fireworks display. Dates and programming vary. When planning a stay, consult the town’s current information rather than assuming a fixed date or an unchanged program.

A July 2026 newsletter from the Town of Wappinger announced Country Line Dancing Nights for the first Wednesday evening of the month at Schlathaus Park. Food trucks were planned, along with the opportunity to learn line dancing or watch. This announcement reflects the plans at that time; for a later stay, check for newly announced dates.

Weighing Experiences When Choosing Accommodation

The different experiences may help determine your preferred travel dates for a vacation rental in Myers Corner. For the concert series, you’ll need a suitable Thursday in summer; for apple picking, the confirmed date at your chosen orchard is what matters. It’s best to check the Wappinger community events against their own schedules. Compare these time frames with your vacation plans before choosing your accommodation. That way, you can base your search on the experiences that genuinely matter during your stay.
