promenaders
People taking strolls
Promenaders are people who take leisurely walks, typically in public places designed for strolling such as boardwalks, parks, or seaside esplanades.
The term often suggests an element of social display—walking to see and be seen rather than for exercise or transport.
In British usage, promenaders specifically refers to audience members who stand in the arena section at BBC Proms concerts, where standing tickets are sold cheaply to encourage participation.
