During the Vivid Light festival, the city’s photogenic harbourfront transforms into an open-air art gallery, with a wonderland of light sculptures, innovative light installations, and grand-scale projections blasted on downtown buildings. It’s the largest festival of its kind in the world.
Don’t get lost in the crowd of thousands; instead, join our local guide as they show you the hidden and lesser-known installations down back alleyways and around dark corners. Vivid Light takes place all around Circular Quay and The Rocks, two of the most famous districts of Sydney, both bursting with stories to be told: as you check out some of the coolest light-themed artwork in the world, you’ll also learn the history behind the district, and discover how Sydney became the place it is today.
