If you’re mourning the loss of Vivid, we’re here with some good news. There’s plenty more on the cards to keep you occupied this winter and beyond. On the top of the list is the popular Bastille Festival which is returning this July with all the cheesy goodness, French vibes and comfort food you could ask for from July 11-14. Like last year, art and cinema feature prominently in the festival’s stacked line-up and one highlight event to look forward to is Le Mulled Wine Cinema, which pairs delicious mulled wine with popular French movies, all screened harbourside.
Le Mulled Wine Cinema
Experience the magic of French cinema while snuggled up in deck chairs and cozy blankets and an endless supply of mulled wine on hand. The cinema will run throughout the festival with some exciting screenings of old classics planned.
