Promenade Concerts

Promenade concerts are a type of musical performance where attendees are encouraged to move freely and even walk around during the show, rather than remaining seated. Originating in the 18th century, these concerts often take place in outdoor or open venues and aim to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Participants can enjoy live music from various genres while mingling and experiencing the performance in a more casual setting. Today, promenade concerts are used to promote engagement with classical and contemporary music, blending entertainment with social interaction and fostering a more accessible concert-going experience.
