Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards is Central New York’s most unique outdoor concert venue — a working apple orchard in LaFayette that transforms into a stunning open-air amphitheater for summer and fall concert events. With a capacity of up to 5,000, the venue offers a one-of-a-kind experience that blends live music with the natural beauty of the rolling hills south of Syracuse.
The concert series at Beak & Skiff has grown rapidly, attracting nationally touring acts across country, rock, indie, and Americana genres. The outdoor setting, combined with the orchard’s own 1911 Spirits craft beverages, creates an atmosphere that’s part music festival, part harvest celebration. Shows typically take place on weekend evenings from late spring through early fall.
Located off Route 20 in LaFayette, about 15 minutes south of Syracuse, Beak & Skiff offers on-site parking and a family-friendly environment. The venue has quickly established itself as one of the most anticipated concert destinations in Upstate New York.
