open-aired
Under the sky
Open-aired describes something taking place or located in the open air, outdoors rather than inside a building: an open-aired concert, open-aired markets.
The more common form is open-air, used as an adjective without the -ed suffix, but open-aired appears when writers want to emphasize the quality as a characteristic: The open-aired stadium left fans exposed to the rain.
