Vivid Sydney is here and you know what that means — no building, bridge, or walkway is safe from being transformed into a jaw-dropping light projection or a wildly impressive art installation. Every spring this three-week festival of light, music and innovative ideas serves up an eclectic menu of events to the Australian capital. From concerts in the Sydney Opera House, to renowned speakers, to giant light-up bunnies that tower over you (see below), it is near impossible not to find something that sparks your interest.
Hundreds of musicians and speakers have graced the many stages of Vivid Sydney, but today we’re here to focus on one thing: the lights!
We hope you enjoy these incredible snapshots from Vivid Sydney festivals past and present. Prepare to have your mind blown, and save your “oohs and ahhs” for the end!
