Open air organization

Essential information for future organizers of open air.

Let's start Open-air is a kind of outdoor party. Nowadays, these parties are gaining momentum and are becoming more and more popular. After all, this is outdoor recreation accompanying active recreation and, of course, dancing! But the main question arises: how to make your party go perfectly? How to organize such an event outside the city? What are the nuances when preparing an event? We will help you find decent answers to these and many other questions.

If this is your first experience of hosting parties of this format, then it is not wise to think about a huge number of people. Open-air for 200-300 people for the first time is more than realizable

Where should you start?

Open-air concept... Determine for yourself main goal- why the open-air will be held and what will be its "trick", how you can attract people. After all, ordinary dances under the moon have long been practiced among young people and they are not particularly surprised with something like that. People are interested in all kinds of themed parties that differ in format from similar events, they also need to decide on the music format. because this will determine the choice, the artists, the venue, and the budget in the end.

Party plan... The next stage is drawing up an Open-air plan, if possible with complete thought over the time of the event: the time for preparing the site, placing and setting up the equipment, what time the artists will arrive, how long their program is going, the time of DJ sets, etc. This will streamline the preparation process for open air, but of course situations may occur in which you can deviate a little from this plan.

Business model creation ... Next, it is worth developing a business plan reflecting both your costs and the further possible profit from the services that you are going to provide during the event. Next, we determine the price of tickets, the cost of your services and draw up a menu of drinks and food. Do not forget to also write down expenditure items: administration kickbacks, security salaries, purchase or rent of sound equipment, etc. The main thing is to do it as accurately and completely as possible.

Site selection

One of the most important things when organizing a party is choosing the right venue for the event. Remember the main thing is to accommodate the planned number of guests, transport arriving, organize a place for the stage and, most importantly, a dance floor, separate several recreation areas. The best option is a place near water bodies. Site selected? - Wonderful! Now the most difficult step ... to coordinate the planned with the administration. Moreover, it is necessary to knock out exactly the written permission of the mayor or municipality... On the basis of this decision, the doors of the police should open in front of you, fire service and doctors. Should, but not required There is an option - contacting security agencies, but this is already paid for by you.

Open air technical support

Probably the most important thing. Provide the event with decent sound and light equipment. You have two options: either rent equipment, or buy it for permanent use, if you are seriously fired up by organizing "street" parties all the time. The first option is not bad because the complex technical part is performed by professionals, so you will not touch the equipment and will be busy only organizational activities... The second option is beneficial for people who are constantly involved in openings.

Sound... In an amicable way, the "amount" of sound for street parties is calculated by the number of people using the simple formula "20-30 W x 1 person." After simple calculations, you can make a choice of equipment. If the party is attended by about 100 people, then a few kilowatts should be enough. If this is a larger party, then the sound and equipment will be much more powerful. Also, do not forget about the riders of the invited persons, it is worth discussing in advance what equipment they need. It is worth clarifying which models of "turntables" will be used by DJs and so on.

Light... It all depends, of course, only on your imagination. In general, all lighting equipment can be divided into several types: flood, scanning, full rotation. Don't forget about special effects: smoke machine, foam, etc.

Scene... Performing DJs and artists will be more profitable better on stage. Since the party is outdoors, be sure to keep the rain out. The sound system does not like dampness, so it is worth considering waterproof capes.

Nuances with nutrition

Please note that if you plan to sell locally prepared food, you need someone who is licensed to do this. Everything is the same with the sale of alcohol - a license is required.

A short checklist for organizing an open air event

Open air is an outdoor event. Over the years, this format is gaining more and more popularity, as it allows those present to truly relax and get a lot of emotions. Also, the space not limited the area of ​​the premises, which means that additional opportunities open up for the organizers.

When should you choose the open air format?

Not all events will fit into the open air concept, so it is always necessary to weigh everything "pros and cons" before organizing a similar format. Open air is used when you need to create a relaxed, informal and friendly atmosphere. V Lately it is used for:

• festivals;
• insta picnics;
• corporate events;
• celebrations, etc.

That is, scale of activities organized in the open air can be different - from small celebrations for a narrow circle of people to concerts for several thousand guests.

Event plan

The first thing to think about when developing an event plan is concept.

What's so special about your open air that will make people buy tickets without hesitation? Of course, if you need to organize a corporate party or a birthday party, where sales are out of the question, everything is much easier. But if you are venturing into a festival or concert, you should think carefully! An example of a well-chosen concept is "Courage Bazar"... Each time, the organizers offer not only to come to their flea market, but also to eat, dance and just have a good time. The chosen concept helps them in further actions - developing a program, choosing entertainment, menus, etc.

• form a budget;
• choose a location;
• determine the date and time of the event;
• think over where the food courts, stages, toilets will be;
• invite artists leading;
• determine the cost of tickets and additional services;
• be sure to find security and a medical station in case you need help;
• etc.

Attention! Think over plan "B" in case of rain.

If the event is small, ask if it will be possible reschedule an event into the room. In the event of a large-scale festival or concert, take care of a sufficient number of tents and personnel who will promptly protect equipment, food and products from water. Often when the weather worsens, the organizers distribute raincoats to people. This is exactly what they do, for example, at the now popular festival Atlas Weekend.

Choice of location and technical support

We recommend paying special attention to the location! You need to think over the number of guests who will attend your event, and build on this when site selection... It must have sufficient space to accommodate all participants, as well as the installation of scenes, photo zones, points of sale of products, etc. In addition, there should be a parking lot near the venue.

Well, and perhaps the most important part - technical equipment ... Providing sound, lighting equipment and special effects is a task that is difficult for a beginner to cope with. In this case, the best option will, which will provide in equipment rental and will monitor the quality of her work at the event. If outdoor activities are something you want to do all the time, you might want to consider buying all the equipment you need and hiring a team of tech specialists.

Make sure you provide adequate lighting in the evening.

Stationary lights can be installed on the site - this will simplify the task of the organizer. If there are no lights, please specify presence of sockets... If they are not available, you will need to rent a generator to connect the electricity.

Open air meals

When organizing a corporate party or birthday party in the open air, you can order catering and negotiate the menu with the client, taking into account his preferences. At an open air festival or concert, you need to carefully choose companies and people who will sell food to visitors. They must be licensed to sell food or alcohol, and must have medical records. Otherwise, you may have problems with the police.

And, of course, a few words about security. Firstly, she is needed! Especially if a large number of open air visitors are expected. Secondly x, it must be professional! Often, the owners of the location can recommend you a company that provides security for other events that were organized on the site earlier. It may be worth listening to the positive recommendations, because this way you will be sure that the guards are working and not relaxing with the visitors.

In conclusion, let's say that open air is one of the most popular formats at the moment. The organization of such events requires maximum professionalism - you need to take into account specifics of work in open space, a variety of contingencies and much more. Therefore, we hope that our small checklist will help you avoid unnecessary hassle and that your event will be at its best.

Here the fellows quietly agree on what kind of work they will be hired to the troll. They will show work only with movements.
They must do this at the same time.

Example of a game:
Well done, they agreed to be sawers and go to the troll's house. They come up and say:
- Hello, Troll!
- Hello, fellows! Why did you come?
- Hire a job!
- What can you do? Well done answer:
- And that's what! ..
And they begin to silently show with movements how they saw wood. If the troll guesses that the guys are showing, then he says: "I don't need the sawers!" And with these words, he runs to catch the fellows. The caught one becomes a troll and takes the "house". The former troll becomes a fine fellow.
Well, if he doesn't guess right after three attempts, then the good fellows "make a nose for him" and say: "If he didn't guess, he was left without workers!" and give the troll a new task.

How to organize an outdoor wedding?

At all times, the wedding was considered an important and significant event in life. Even fairy tales that are passed down from generation to generation often end with a happy marriage. How and where to celebrate your wedding? This is the question that interests the bride and groom.

V summer time you can arrange a celebration in the fresh air. If you or your relatives have their own home, and most importantly - a large and well-kept yard or garden, then it is more convenient to celebrate the wedding at home. It should be borne in mind that in this case, an increased burden will fall on you and your relatives. It is imperative to take care of dance floors, benches, tents, awnings, electric lighting and many other details related to organizing an outdoor celebration.

An outdoor wedding is very romantic. You will be surrounded by nature, fresh air, bright flowers, lush greenery, and above your head - the sun, sky, clouds. With the coming of night, the stars will light up in the sky, giving a special atmosphere to the holiday. A wedding fireworks can be launched into the night sky. Sky lanterns, which have recently become very popular, will look especially advantageous. If you live in Moscow, then this will not be a problem and you can buy sky lanterns in Moscow. Yes, in fact, in almost every city they are now being sold.

You can also contact the agency for organizing the holiday for help. In this case, the agency staff will take on a lot of trouble in arranging the venue for the holiday. You will be offered several options for wedding venues: park areas, summer terraces of restaurants, estates, country holiday homes and clubs, beaches. You can also spend a more dynamic and even extreme holiday. For example, a wedding in the form of a camping trip or on the water. It all depends on your imagination!

It should be borne in mind that for registration you will need to visit the registry office. And not necessarily on the same day, it is quite possible that the entry into the civil status act will be entered into some other. On the very same one you can play "registration" in the form of a game. The role of the registrar can be performed by one of the guests or an employee of the wedding agency. However, on-site registration is possible, but not all agencies offer it. In this case, the registrar will come only when he is free.

What your wedding will be like depends only on you, your desires and imagination. Of course, the independent organization of such a celebration is a rather exhausting process. Therefore, it is better to entrust the wedding to professionals so that nothing is burdensome. Then the wedding will be truly unforgettable!

Maslenitsa. Indoor Party Scenario

Entertainment "Geese-Swans" (based on a Russian folk tale)

Outdoor entertainment - parties

What is necessary? Rope (50 cm - 4 pcs., 5 m - 1 pc.), Bags (4 pcs.), Threads with a needle, a basin (2 pcs.), Boxing gloves (2 pairs), elastic bands (2 3 m), air balls (30 pcs. and more, including sausage balls - 2 pcs.), skittles or other obstacles (8 pcs.), bucket (2 pcs.), darts (10 pcs.), pump pump (2 pcs.) ), rope, prizes (2 pcs. or more), plastic cups (10 pcs. or more), plastic tube (2 pcs.), bullet balls (as much as possible), balls (2 pcs.), double-sided tape, stationery buttons (1 pack), a chiffon shawl or scarf (2 pcs.), huge harem pants (2 pcs.), wrapped candies (2 pcs.), thick kitchen mittens, potholders (4 pcs.), chicken eggs (2 pcs. and more), sachets (2 pcs. or more). You can time a sports event to coincide with the Health Day or organize a corporate event in the fresh air. You can also use contests suitable for the family holiday "Mom, Dad, I am a sports family." At the beginning of the holiday, divide the participants into several teams depending on the number of props available. How can you split up into teams in a playful way? The presenter asks the participants to randomly move around the site, without touching each other and carefully listening to his voice, so as not to miss the desired command. The presenter gives time to disperse, and then announces the first task - to share in pairs. As soon as everyone has formed pairs and raised their hands up, demonstrating their readiness, the leader again orders to move randomly. The next command is division into threes, fours, etc. If someone is alone, he joins whoever he wants. During the game, the leader must count all the participants and divide them exactly in half. Thus, two teams are formed. To make the teams easier to distinguish, participants come up with names and a short motto, which is voiced when meeting the teams. Races Tied Races This team event consists of two stages. First stage. The captains must tie up the whole team as soon as possible, passing the rope given to them (3 4 m long) through any element of the participants' clothing (hole for laces on sneakers, straps for a belt) so that a single whole is formed - a long snake. The jury determines which team completed the task first. Second phase. Teams must run tied to and from the finish line. The more united the team acts, the easier it is for it to overcome the distance and the faster it will cope with the task. If the players move in sync, they will not have to waste time and energy on pulling and fighting with each other. The winning team is determined based on the results of two stages. Running in double bags Participants of all teams are given bags sewn together. The doubles race is announced. Two participants leave each team, they climb into a double bag and, trying to jump synchronously, so as not to knock down their partner, cover the distance to the finish line and back. Players who return to the finish line first, bring their team a prize point. The competition can be attended by one pair or several. If the number of players in teams does not exceed 10 12 people, then the teams can take part in full strength. Taz Run This competition also involves pairs of players. One of them puts his left leg in the pelvis, and the second - his right, with their hands they hug and support each other by the waist. Like Siamese twins, couples move towards the end of the course and return in the same way. The recommended distance for running in the basins is 8-10 m. The most important thing is to step and move the basin in sync. This is the key to success and speed of movement. The most agile pair wins. ATTENTION When the organizer determines the distance for a particular relay, he must take into account the complexity of the test and how the participants will overcome the return journey (same or running?). It is important to remember that players are not athletes in preparation for the Olympics - all tasks must be easy and safe. Sports Competitions Sharpshooter On the ground, at a certain distance from the participants, the presenter and his assistant set up inverted plastic cups (10 pcs.), On each of which a number is written (the number of points the player gains by knocking down this cup). Teams choose the most accurate player, who will have to knock down as many cups as possible using the strength of his lungs and his weapon (balls and plastic tube). Two participants from the opposing teams lie down on the ground 2-3 m from the targets, arm themselves with five cartridges (balls) and try to knock down the cups. The team with the player who has the most cups and the maximum number of points is declared the winner. The girl on the ball The teams select three volunteers (two guys and one girl). The girl in each group gets up on soccer ball, and the guys support her by the arms. Rolling on the ball, you need to overcome the distance and get to the finish line. All three come back at a run. The winner is the team whose trinity will cope with the task faster (while the girl should not fall, stumble or get off the ball). Lucky Footballer Several players are blindfolded, spun and pulled away from balls lying on the ground at a distance of 5-7 meters. The “footballers” must go to the ball and kick it. Doing this with your eyes closed is quite problematic. Most likely, many participants will cut the air with their feet for a long time. There is no need to determine the winners in this competition. You can play the players and play a trick on them. For example, while they are being blindfolded and spun, remove the balls from the field. Water projectiles Bombs are made from balloons filled with water, and everyone can compete in throwing water projectiles. The winner is the one who manages to throw the “bomb” as far as possible. At the end of the holiday, all "athletes" are awarded prizes and medals. The event continues with a festive banquet and dancing. Party scenarios Party "Zodiac" Party "Doubles" Party "Fairy Tales for the New Year"

Wacken Open Air (W: O: A) Is the world's largest metal music festival, held annually in the small town of Wacken, in northern Germany. Wacken is the most important and most popular gathering of metalists from all over the world. In 2006, the number of visitors to this event exceeded 60,000.

For the first time the festival was held in 1990, with the participation of local little-known groups, but every year the popularity grew and by 1998 Wacken became a European and then world-class festival.

Wacken Open Air takes place at the beginning of August every year and lasts three days. Four stages are set up on which over 70 different groups perform.

Open air is an outdoor event. It doesn't take much work to explain the popularity of various open airs around the world. Still, there are not many people among us who do not like fresh air, sun, communication, great music and dancing.

But organizing a real open air is not an easy task. Maybe that's why he didn't immediately take root in Russia? Although in the eighties they liked to organize festivals, it usually boiled down to a simple scenario: a dozen amateur rock bands played the same type of melodies, and after that letters and souvenirs were handed out. Well, that energy, charging the masses, which is inherent in a true open air, was not even in sight.

Open air

The first rock festival, reminiscent of the modern open air in spirit, is considered by many to be “Rock-Panorama-1986”, which took place in Podolsk. And even though this festival was held on the summer stage of the park, it is at least important that this is the first experience of holding a real open air in Russia. Then in Podolsk the recognized stars of national rock performed: "DDT", "Zoo", "Nautilus Pompilius". Later, electronic music fans fell in love with open airs. Well, now fans of all musical styles have realized that there is an open air for everyone.

Today "outdoor events" are loved in different parts of Russia. The scale of open air can be very different: from corporate party before the huge festival. All that remains in common is fresh air and a great time.

To hold a large-scale open air usually requires hard work, for which it is just right to be awarded medals, as well as a lot of patience and optimism. First of all, you need to get a lot of various permits: from the police, from the administration, from firefighters and the sanitary and epidemiological station. It is necessary to find a suitable site and prepare the stage (there is an unspoken rule: the more people are expected, the higher the stage). You need to come to an agreement with lighting and sound engineers, prepare a dance floor and tents in case of rain, not forget about projection screens and, finally, find decent security so that all these preparatory work does not go to dust even before the start of the festival. And then - pray that it doesn't rain. Although the organizers usually have a “plan B” prepared in advance in case of rain, the vagaries of the weather can negate the beauty of open air.

Yes, preparing and holding open air is troublesome. But at the same time, of course, it is profitable, and it will remain profitable for many years to come. Why is easy to explain. Yes, simply because so many people love the sun and fresh air, communication and entertainment, music and dancing ...
Additionally

Perhaps, many people recently often hear such a word as open-air. Translated literally, the expression means "outdoor party". Events of this kind are gaining more and more popularity, and there are a number of specific reasons for this. After all, you see, it is very cool to go out of town - to the beach or to the forest, as part of a large and friendly company, dance and have fun all night. And if you are planning a birthday or wedding party, then the decision to hold it outdoors would be perfect. Often for such parties, stage inflatable awnings are needed, especially when it comes to a holiday for a child. Therefore, inflatable canopies can be purchased inexpensively today without problems and be sure that your party will go off with a bang.

1. If you do not have experience in holding this kind of parties, then it is better not to immediately take up large project... Instead, you should start with small parties, during which you will be able to work out all the organizational points and try different guest management schemes. Remember, it's pretty risky to go to a party with hundreds of invitees.

2. When the decision to hold an open-air has already been firmly made, you should proceed to the next stage, which, in turn, includes three more: the concept, plan and business model of the event. The first moment means a clear decision of why the party will take place at all, what is its zest and how people will be attracted. The second point is also very important, meaning thinking through the entire event literally to the smallest detail, including temporary ones. And, finally, the third point, which will be relevant only for that profitable event. Here it is necessary to calculate all expenses and income so as not to remain at a loss.

3. Another equally important stage is the choice of a place, a site for a get-together. This should be implemented taking into account the number of guests and their cars. Speaking of large-scale events, here you should also leave separate places for the stage, dance floor, places for active and passive recreation. Ideal if there is a body of water nearby. When the site has already been selected, it is necessary to coordinate the planned open-air with the administration. And to do it in accordance with all legal requirements.

4. The main position in terms of organizing open-air is, perhaps, technical support. After all, what kind of party is held without loud sound, bright light and unforgettable special effects? Completing this stage is not an easy and very responsible task. By and large, there are only two options: to hire a company that specializes in the rental of such equipment, or to rent / purchase everything you need, if the plans include regular holding of such events.

5. Entertainment is an integral part of any party, especially open-air. This is not only about providing an opportunity to play badminton or play computer games - this will only work with a home party. For a larger-scale event, something is required to a rank more presentable in the form of professional artists, musicians, DJs and presenters.

6. Regular important point one must not forget about is nutrition. No one is going to be at a party for too long if there is no food there. And drinks. Here again the legal aspect is raised: a license is required, even if we are talking about ordinary chocolate bars. What can we say about alcohol. To lose sight of this means to admit the poor-quality organization of the event.

Holding open-air is not an easy mission and requires a lot of strength, patience and dedication. But satisfied and grateful guests will surely make up for it all. After all, someone is just born to be an entertainer of this kind of hangouts. And let your open-air be unforgettable!
