openair

Without enclosure overhead

Open-air describes something that takes place outdoors, without a roof or enclosure: an open-air concert, an open-air market.

The hyphenated form typically precedes nouns; when used after a verb, the hyphen often drops: The performance was held open air.

Also spelled as one word: openair.
