Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinema

Ben and Jerry's Openair Cinemas have announced that this season they will be visiting a total of 9 venues during the annual tour around Australia and, for the first time ever, New Zealand.

Since 2003 the alfresco seasonal festival has been bringing music by day and movies by night to iconic locations around Australia. Starting at Sydney's Bondi Beach over a decade ago, the roaming event will this season take in new venues at the Gold Coast's Broadbeach, Sydney's Inner West, and a first-ever international visit to Auckland, as well as established crowd favourite locations in Brisbane's South Bank, Melbourne's St Kilda Beach, Canberra's Patrick White Lawn, home turf at Bondi Beach, Adelaide's Glenelg Beach and East Perth.

The addition of the three new venues cements Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinemas as the largest of its kind in Australia and New Zealand.

Alex Khadra, Openair Cinemas' Director, comments: 'I couldn't be more proud of what our team has accomplished, and I hope that locals at our new venues will embrace the event and welcome us back for exciting annual visits in future seasons."

With the hottest new releases, crowd favourite cult classic screenings, live music from an array of local artists, DJs, weekly Sundae Sessions including games and free Ben & Jerry's ice cream for all ticketholders before the movie, and a fully licensed bar with food offerings from the best local vendors, Ben & Jerry's Openair Cinemas deliver an outdoor movie experience with friendly festival vibes like no other.

Event partners include Volkswagen's Polo Class ticket category returning this season, superior sound and professional audio technology provided by Klipsch, Aperol Sunsets kicking off every Friday with DJs and Spritz samples, Contiki giving away a trip of a lifetime, and Giesen providing world-class wines.
