Night outdoor gathering photographed from behind a large audience seated on rows of white plastic chairs in an open field. Many men in white and pale shirts fill the frame, their heads silhouetted against bright floodlights on tall poles. In the distance a lit stage stands with an orange and red backdrop, a decorated panel and a purple side curtain, with small lights strung along the ground. The stage area is too small to make out any individual figure clearly.
