open-air stage

Uncovered performance venue

An open-air stage is an outdoor performance platform, typically used for theater, concerts, or public events.

Unlike indoor venues, open-air stages expose performers and audiences to weather and natural light: The summer festival featured bands on an open-air stage in the park.

Many are permanent structures in amphitheaters; others are temporary setups for specific events.
