We're on. The warmer weather is here and with it, all of Melbourne's favourite summertime events and happenings too. Yep, Moonlight Cinema is heading back to town this year, cranking up their projectors for a summer of movies under the stars.
Heading back to leafy Royal Botanic Gardens at the end of this month, you can bet the outdoor cinema will be serving up cracker blockbusters and indies alike.
The latest program announcement just detailed some of the mammoth flicks coming to the outdoor screen including the all-new releases of Avatar: Way Of Water, Babylon, and The Fabelmans, as well as fresh hits like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the Whitney Houston Bio-Pic I Wanna Dance with Somebody and more.
Of course, there's still a raft of Christmas faves like Love Actually, The Holiday, Home Alone, and retro classics like Princess Diaries and My Best Friend's Wedding to get along to as well.
As usual, you'll be able to unroll a picnic blanket and throw down a few pillows to relax on with your mates, or go VIP and opt for one of the plush bean bags. If you can't be bothered packing your own picnic to bring along, there'll be onsite food trucks dishing up tasty eats and a licensed bar for cheeky drinks.
Last but not least, Moonlight Cinema is dog-friendly—and this year, they've partnered with K9 Natural to create a special pet-friendly menu of doggo snacks to treat your four-legged family members during the movie.
Tickets are now on sale for sessions up until the end of 2022.
