The Galileo Open Air Cinema, Cape Town’s beloved outdoor movie experience, is gearing up for another spectacular season under the stars. Mark those calendars for the 31st of October 2023, when The Galileo kicks off its summer season, a bucket-list activity that will run until the end of April 2024. Boasting a roster of over a hundred iconic movies, this summer promises a line-up that will astound, catering to all movie fans regardless of age.

From heart-warming family classics to tear-jerker rom-coms, toe-tapping musicals, Bollywood, iconic cult classics and golden oldies, The Galileo Open Air Cinema offers the ultimate setting for an enchanting evening with friends, romantic date nights, birthday celebrations, family gatherings, or even team “end-of-year” parties.

As the team unveils this 12th star-studded season, The Galileo promises to whisk you away to some of the most breathtaking venues in Cape Town and the Cape Winelands. On weekdays, you can enjoy screenings hosted at the picturesque Kirstenbosch Garden, while selected Fridays will light up Central Park in Century City. Saturdays are all about alternating Wine Estates across Paarl, Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, and Somerset West.
