Sydney puts on its brightest arts and entertainment festival in May and June each year when Vivid Sydney lights up the city's iconic architecture.
If you're looking to spark your sense of wonder, make a quick getaway to be inspired by illuminating ideas, performances and installations at Vivid Sydney.
1. Vivid Light
Each year the festival takes on a new theme, with the 2021 program embodying 'resilience and wonder'.
Explore the city in a new light, watching urban spaces light up with never seen before installations from artists.
Expect to be transported - whether you're standing in awe of giant 3D projections on buildings, laneways, streets, even the Harbour - or immersed into light shows like 'walk on water', which will have you walking across Cockle Bay on gigantic glowing bubbles.
See the icons of the city glow with a program designed around the city's most iconic locations, including Circular Quay, The Rocks, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour.
2. Vivid Ideas
Hear from thought leaders and decision makers who take to the stage to share and inspire others. Expect a program of innovative minds - those who dare to do, think and act differently. Prepare to have your perceptions challenged.
3. Vivid Music
Consider Vivid Sydney a musical playground - a place to hear from emerging artists of all styles. The eclectic program takes over famous Sydney locations including Sydney Opera House and Carriageworks to The Calyx, Bearded Tit, Club 77, Parliament House, Australian Museum, Oxford Art Factory, Luna Park, Crow Bar, National Art School, Frankie’s Pizza, MCA, Powerhouse Museum, FBi Studios and Paddo RSL.
