Outdoor Cinema at Sydney Olympic Park 2020

Overview

Warm weather means heading outside and not only soaking up the sun, but enjoying summer's sultry evenings. It also means finding as many ways to do just that as possible, so how better than heading to a free film screened under the stars?

Every year for the past 19 years, Sydney Olympic Park has played host to Movies by the Boulevard, a free summer film fest that's all about the openair experience. This year, it has combined with Sydney Hills Outdoor Cinema and had a name change — now it's called Outdoor Cinema at Sydney Olympic Park — but, thankfully, it's filled with more of the same great things: food, drinks and free films.

Held on a selection of evenings between January 4 and 19, it's serving up a feast of 2019 flicks for your outdoor viewing pleasure. Love Avengers: End Game and want to see it again on the big screen? Missed Aladdin the first time round? Eager for a another dose of childhood nostalgia with Toy Story 4? They're all on the agenda, and more.

The rest of the lineup spans from more Edna Mode in Incredibles 2, more live-action Disney with Dumbo and more of Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

While you can go and see all of these flicks for free , you can also splash out on some fancy tickets ($17–206). These start with primo seating and free snacks in premium general admission ($17) and go all the way up to the super-luxe VIP tent ($206), which includes your own glamping tent and butler service. If you've been to Sydney Hills Outdoor Cinema, you'll know what to expect from these comfy setups.

Also available on site is pizza from the Happy As Larry food truck, slow-cooked barbecue treats and hot buttered popcorn, ice cream and candy. A licensed bar will be pouring beers and wines, too.

Gates open at 6pm each night in Cathy Freeman Park, with films kicking off at 8.30pm. BYO blanket and don't forget to register.
