outdoor festivals
Events under sky
Outdoor festivals are organized public events held in open-air settings, typically featuring music, food, arts, or cultural celebrations.
They range from weekend music festivals with camping to local street fairs and seasonal harvest gatherings.
The outdoor element is central—attendees expect sun, mud, portable toilets, and weather-dependent experiences: We got sunburned at the outdoor festival.
