Ben & Jerry’s Openair Cinema 2013
Just when you thought a choc-top at the movies couldn't get any better. This outdoor cinema is right on the beach serving free ice-cream all through December.
Overview
Chunky Monkey, Clusterfluff, New York Super Fudge Chunk. These are just some of the more popular flavours of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, a leading cause of happiness around the world since 1978. While doctors in the future will no doubt tell me otherwise, I can’t think of many things better than gorging a giant tub of sweet, sweet ice-cream on a hot December day, except for maybe getting some friends together and going to the movies.
Well, it turns out Ben & Jerry’s can help me there as well. Staring on December 1 and running until a few days before Christmas, Ben & Jerry’s Open Air Cinema, erected on St Kilda’s South Beach Reserve, will combine recent releases like Gravity, The Counselor and We Are The Millers with some more nostalgic picks, including Point Break, The Breakfast Club and sing-a-long screening of Grease.
Festivities start daily at 6pm with live performances from local bands and DJs. The film program starts after dark, usually around 8.30pm, giving you plenty of time to suss out the bar and stock up on snacks. The exceptions are the Sunday ‘Sundae’ Sessions, which kicks off an hour earlier with additional music and free Ben & Jerry’s for all.
