Excerpt from Outdoor Ceremonies and Pageants The outdoor ceremony differs from the outdoor pageant in that the ceremony is connected with a special holiday or date, whereas the pageant is scheduled and given as is needed and convenient. Special days and dates suitable for ceremonies include Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, etc. Ceremonies can also involve special presentations of awards, state fair activities, receptions for visiting dignitaries, the inauguration of the Sesquicentennial year, the closing of the Sesquicentennial year, and other similar events. The advantages of the outdoor ceremony over the in door ceremony lie in the fact that there are no limitations as far as stage size, lighting, or scenery are concerned. Neither are there any natural limitations as to the size of the audience as dictated by the number of seats, amount of available space, or other similar considerations.
