‍

Understand the Park's Pulse

Every park has its unique vibe. Whether it's a bustling urban park or a tranquil neighbourhood green spot, tailor your entertainment to match its spirit.

‍

Music Selection

Jazz & Blues Bands: The casual setting of a park pairs wonderfully with the laid-back tunes of jazz or blues.

Children's Choirs: If it's a family-friendly event, inviting a local children's choir can add a touch of innocence and charm.

Folk & Country Singers: Bring in the essence of storytelling through music. The rustic tunes will resonate beautifully in the open air.

Interactive Experiences

Dance Alongs: Get a dance instructor to guide the crowd in simple, fun dances everyone can join in on.

Musical Workshops: Set up booths where attendees can try out basic instruments or even learn a simple tune.

Setting Up

Natural Amphitheatres: Utilise the park's landscape. A sloping ground can be an excellent spot for setting up the stage at the bottom, allowing everyone a clear view.

Eco-conscious Decor: Opt for decorations that are biodegradable or reusable. Think cloth banners, wooden signs, and paper lanterns.

‍

Engaging the Attendees

Open Mic Segments: Allow attendees to showcase their talent. Be it a song, a poem, or an instrumental piece – let the park reverberate with community talents.

Musical Games: Think musical chairs, freeze dance, or even a fun karaoke challenge
