Vivid Sydney

Vivid Sydney is an annual three-week festival of light, music and ideas in Sydney, held across May and June. Each autumn, outdoor light sculptures, multimedia artworks and building projections turn the harbour city’s landmarks into a nighttime canvas, with the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge among its best-known settings. Visitors can explore installations around the central business district and other locations, hear performances by local and international musicians, and attend public talks and debates with creative thinkers. Past sites have included Darling Harbour, The Rocks, Central Park, Chatswood and the University of Sydney. Check official dates and arrangements before travelling.
