About Open-air cinema in Nice
Each summer the Ville de Nice holds open-air screenings, with no ticket needed, in parks and squares across the city, from late June to late August. In 2026, four Wednesday evenings at the Port de Nice, Quai de la Douane, showed classics in their original language with subtitles, among them To Catch a Thief (explorenicecotedazur.com). The 2027 programme has not been announced yet.
