The Magic of Vivid Sydney

Vivid Sydney is the largest festival of light, music, and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting millions of visitors each year. It transforms the city into a wonderland of light art sculptures, innovative installations, and grand-scale projections. Running from late May to mid-June, Vivid Sydney is a must-see event that celebrates creativity and innovation.

Starting Point: Circular Quay

Your Vivid Sydney adventure begins at Circular Quay, the bustling hub of Sydney Harbour. As the sun sets and the city lights up, Circular Quay becomes the gateway to a world of vibrant colors and artistic brilliance. From here, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge, both illuminated in stunning displays that set the tone for the night.

Spectacular Projections on the Sydney Harbour Bridge

No Vivid Sydney experience would be complete without witnessing the Sydney Harbour Bridge transformed by mesmerizing light projections. This year, the iconic feature "Faces of Change," is displayed a dynamic artwork that showcases humanity's intrinsic bond with nature. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns tell a story that captivates and inspires, making it a true highlight of the festival.
