Anyone ever done an outdoor show?

I was thinking of folk festivals. Probably be a good market for guitars. But I don't how the guitars might be affected - weather wise.

Any experience with this?

Ive done it three times, in early August, I just went with it!
All the musicians suffer the same problems with heat and humidity.
It was not too bad.
I should add that I had a 10x10 covered area. So no sun was directly on my guitars.

I have been as well .. we were in more of a small barn, but the festival stage was right outside ...

depending on your finish, beware of folks wearing bug sprays - you have to ask them to go wash, or not play at all ... Deet will melt lacquer.... OUCH.
