10+ Free Summer Concerts Return To This East Fishkill Park

It is never too early to start mapping out your summer plans, especially plans that include free live and local music in the Hudson Valley.

I have such great memories of attending various summer concert series performances across the area as a kid, as my parents were always on the lookout for new bands and types of music to introduce us to.

East Fishkill Recreation has announced their Summer 2025 Concert Series lineup.

Free Summer Concerts at the East Fishkill (Hopewell) Rec

By the looks of it, things will be sounding pretty great in East Fishkill for another summer of live music at 'the Rec.' The 2025 Concert Series dates have been released, and include a fireworks night as well.

All shows are free and open to the public, take place at the field across from the hockey rink near the Davis house. Attendees are invited to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets and snacks, and reminded that there will be food trucks on site during the shows as well. It should be noted that leashed pets are permitted, too.

Though there are plenty of parking options, the best option is to enter from the community center (890 Rt 82) and continue to the far back of the lot towards McGrath Field.
