Vivid Sydney is the most spectacular festival of light, music and ideas in the Southern Hemisphere! Now on its 16th year, the iconic event brings together over 140 lighting artists, manufactures and designers from all over the world to transform Sydney Harbour's foreshore and create an awe-inspiring outdoor light festival.
Experience Vivid Sydney and see the city's iconic landmarks be bathed in light and sound from the water. Aboard a Luxury Glass boat or modern catamaran, take in the dazzling view of the festival's major precincts including the Sydney Opera House, Circular Quay, The Sydney Harbour Bridge Light Show and the entire city skyline.
Witness as the evening show transforms skyscrapers and heritage sites into an amazing colourful canvas.
Complete your lovely evening with a sumptuous cocktail-style buffet dinner, with unlimited spirits, beer, wine, sparkling wine and soft drinks available throughout the night from the bar. Your two-hour dinner cruise will conclude at Darling Harbour.
Celebrate Vivid Sydney as it fuses art, innovation and technology highlighting the best of Sydney through 3D light projections and cross-art form installations.
A must for every Sydney-sider or visitor looking for something spectacular this winter.
