Vivid Sydney is Australia’s largest festival of light, music, ideas, and food. Held from 24 May – 15 June 2024, Vivid Sydney invites visitors to step outside the every day into nights full of wonder. 

This year, we're celebrating everything that makes us different (and the same). The theme 'Humanity,' invites us to look inside to find inspiration in all those things that make us uniquely human - love, kindness, compassion and creativity.

Whether you're a photography enthusiast, art lover, or simply seeking an unforgettable adventure with the family, Vivid Sydney at Barangaroo is a must-see event.
