Moonlight Cinema Melbourne

Moonlight Cinema Melbourne is a seasonal outdoor cinema held on the lawns of the Royal Botanic Gardens on Birdwood Avenue in South Yarra, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The format is a single outdoor screen with lawn seating where attendees bring blankets or hire deck chairs. The program typically runs during the warmer months and features contemporary releases, cult favourites and classic films. The venue usually offers licensed bars and onsite food vendors, creating a picnic-style open-air cinema experience set against the botanic gardens. Moonlight Cinema is a temporary seasonal event rather than a permanent multiplex or large-format (IMAX) venue.
