The Open-air theater in Burgas is the city's primary venue for large-scale outdoor performances, located within the Sea Garden. It serves as a focal point for the Burgas Music Festival and the international folklore festival. The structure features a large stage and tiered seating bowl designed to optimize acoustic projection toward the audience. Renovations completed in recent years updated the seating, lighting systems, and stage infrastructure to modern technical standards. Its semi-circular configuration facilitates natural ventilation during summer evenings. The venue hosts a variety of programming including operas, rock concerts, theater plays, and dance performances. Its proximity to the Black Sea coast influences the local microclimate, often providing a breeze during warm summer events. The facility is managed by the Municipality of Burgas.
