Vivid Sydney, the largest light, music and ideas event in the Southern Hemisphere, is set to impress once again when it returns to Sydney in 2015.
The 18-day event, named Best Tourism Event at the Australian Event Awards in 2014, is on from 22 May to 8 June in 2015, which is also the International Year of Light.
Owned and managed by Destination New South Wales, the State Government’s Tourism and Major Events agency, Vivid Sydney attracted more than 1.43 million people in 2014.
“Vivid Sydney dazzles visitors with its creative and entertaining line-up of performances, light displays and installations. As it continues to become more popular every year, I encourage visitors to start planning their trips to Vivid Sydney now.”
Sandra Chipchase, Destination NSW chief executive
Heading into its seventh year, Vivid Sydney celebrates the creative industries.
Much of the festival is free and includes large scale light installations and projections as part of Vivid Light; music performances and collaborations as part of Vivid Music; and creative ideas, discussion and debate as part of Vivid Ideas.
