balcony appearance
Elevated public greeting
A balcony appearance is a public showing by a dignitary or celebrity from a balcony to crowds below—a format associated with royalty, popes, and political leaders.
The elevated position allows one person to be seen by many while maintaining physical separation: The royal family made their traditional balcony appearance after the coronation.
The term sometimes describes any brief, ceremonial public showing.
