Tickets for the November and December sessions of Moonlight Cinema presented by Youi are available online now.
A summer tradition for 30 years
Since its very first screening of Pulp Fiction back in 1995, Moonlight Cinema has become an Aussie summer favourite. More than 5 million people have relaxed on picnic rugs or bean bags to watch movies outdoors. Over the years, the outdoor cinema has played host to:
-
First dates and romantic proposals
-
Fun celebrity sightings like Margot Robbie and Chris Hemsworth
-
Pampered pups chilling on their own bean bags!
Some of the most-watched films at Moonlight Cinema include Love Actually, Dirty Dancing, and 10 Things I Hate About You.
The People’s Program: You vote; they screen!
In honour of the big 3-0, this year’s season includes The People’s Program, where movie fans get to vote for what plays on the big screen. The top-voted films in each city will be shown from January to March 2026, making it a summer of shared movie magic.
Everyone who votes gets 30% off General Admission tickets and goes into the draw to win cool prizes—including a Double Season Pass! Kids and families can vote for nostalgic favourites and feel-good classics like Shrek, Dirty Dancing, The Castle, and Jurassic Park.
