Cinema Under the Stars

A cinema under the skies of Lake Maggiore

When summer arrives, the big screen moves outdoors in Castelletto sopra Ticino. The Cinema Under the Stars festival brings movies into the town's green heart, the "G. Sibilia" Municipal Park, one of the most popular and cherished spots in this town overlooking the Ticino river, at the southern tip of Lake Maggiore in the province of Novara, Piedmont.

Organized by the Municipality of Castelletto sopra Ticino, the initiative has become a consolidated summer tradition: every year, it offers a selection of recent and successful films, chosen to engage audiences of all ages. Screenings are completely free, a way to provide the community with moments of leisure and connection during the warmest evenings of the year.

Free open-air cinema

The charm of Cinema Under the Stars lies in its simple formula: sit outdoors in the park and watch a film under the night sky. It is the perfect occasion for an evening with family, friends, or company, without the need for a ticket. The festival features a mix of comedies, box-office hits, and films that resonate with every generation, keeping the spirit of popular, accessible cinema alive.

A community gathering

More than just a screening, Cinema Under the Stars is a summer ritual that brings the Parco Sibilia to life, gathering residents of Castelletto sopra Ticino and neighboring towns. Support from local sponsors, alongside the commitment of the municipal administration, keeps the festival thriving year after year, cementing its place as one of the most anticipated events of the summer on the lower Lake Maggiore.
