The Galileo Open Air Cinema has become synonymous with the start of summer in Cape Town.
Its screenings offer unique entertainment for both locals and tourists, as well as an opportunity to take advantage of our beautiful locations and vistas.
This season, The Galileo Open Air Cinema is proudly sponsored by Santam and will showcase a brand new season of cinematic delights. The recipe remains perfected for sunset viewings all throughout Cape Town’s partner venues and into the magnificent Cape Winelands, where there’s bound to be a show popping up near you.
The next few months are jam-packed with over 110 movie screenings showcasing a series of blockbuster hits, from family favourites to heart-warming rom-coms, upbeat comedies, and adored musicals. Galileo promises something for every movie lover!
Set in some of the most picturesque and exclusive settings across the Western Cape, the magnificent wine estates chosen make for all the more reason to arrive early, cuddle up close, and enjoy some estate wines while you tick one of the many must-visit vineyards off the seemingly-never-ending list across Stellenbosch, Somerset West, Paarl, and Franschhoek.
For those who have not yet experienced a Saturday sunset screening, arrive as the gates open at 5pm to take full advantage of the breathtaking mountain vistas, award-winning wines on offer, and the delectable on-site artisanal food market. Get comfy as you find a spot on the manicured lawns—the perfect backdrop for an evening picnic of pre-movie al fresco dining with loved ones.
Bring your own picnic or arrive hungry and enjoy a pre-movie meal prepared by local artisanal food vendors. Delicious pizza, juicy burgers, tasty wraps, popcorn and other yummy snacks are available.
For the first time ever, The Galileo will also be hosting a festive family show in Stellenbosch for Christmas Eve celebrations! It’s fitting that the season concludes with a final screening on April 29, 2023, at the foot of the Helderberg mountains on Lourensford Estate.
More than just a movie experience, The Galileo offers an opportunity to soak up the balmy summer atmosphere and unrivalled surroundings with vibey music, beautiful views, and more! Consider getting your date nights, family weekend activities, birthday bashes, and year-end festivities sorted this summer season.
