Summer is just around the corner which means you’ll soon be able to stretch out on an oversized bean bag and enjoy Australia’s biggest outdoor cinema once more.
Moonlight Cinema is back for its 19th season. As in previous years you’ll be able to check out a vast selection of movies including advance screenings, new releases and cult favourites all summer long. Gorgeous rolling lawns will again provide the setting in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, where film-lovers can recline on a picnic rug underneath the stars and catch a flick on the big screen for the quintessential summer cinema experience.
Drum roll please… The coming season dates are locked in;
- Adelaide, Dec 4 – Feb 22 on the lawns of Botanic Park
- Brisbane, Dec 4 – Feb 22 on the lawns of New Farm Park at Brisbane Powerhouse
- Melbourne, Dec 4 – Mar 29 on the Central Lawn at the Royal Botanic Gardens
- Perth, Dec 7 – Mar 29 at Kings Park and Botanic Garden
- Sydney, Dec 11 – Mar 29 on the lawns of Belvedere Amphitheatre in Centennial Park
Saturday night live music sessions at the Sydney and Melbourne Moonlight Cinemas this season will be more than enough of a reason to get a big group of friends together and get there early. Bring some dips and cheese, pack a bottle or two of wine and enjoy some tunes as the sun goes down before the film. Barefoot dancing on the grass is almost mandatory.
If you get peckish you will find a new LA style food truck who will be serving up tantalising street fare at Moonlight Cinema nationally, adding a little extra pizzazz to the usual box of popcorn.
Get cosy for the silver screen
“The team at Moonlight Cinema are so excited to get the nineteenth season off and running,” said Ian Sutherland, the Director of Moonlight Cinema.
“The new LA style food trucks and the live music nights at our Sydney and Melbourne venues are going to really bring a summer party vibe to Moonlight Cinema that I think people all over Australia will love to get involved in!”
