Foreshore Movie Night Under The Stars

Residents and visitors are invited to enjoy a relaxed evening by the water as the Airlie Beach Foreshore transforms into the open-air cinema on Friday, 21 November 2025.

The free community movie night will kick off at 6pm, featuring two much-loved films Rango followed by Drop Dead Fred.

Rango follows the Chameleon who has lived as a sheltered family pet experiences an identity crisis after landing in the frontier town of Dirt, where he becomes the new sheriff. What begins as an act soon turns real as a series of wild adventures push Rango to become a true hero.

Drop Dead Fred is about a lonely and unhappy young woman named Elizabeth (Phoebe Cates) whose life is in shambles after discovering her husband's infidelity. Her childhood imaginary friend, Fred (Rik Mayall), magically reappears to help her.

Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket or chair and settle in for a night of family-friendly entertainment. A selection of delicious food trucks will be on-site, and attendees are reminded that this is an alcohol-free event.

The evening is proudly presented by the Whitsunday Regional Council, offering locals the perfect way to unwind and connect under the stars.
For more information, contact the council on 1300 927 753 or email info@wrc.qld.gov.au.

Note: In the event of bad weather, the screening may be cancelled.
