Vivid Sydney 2022- Warming the soul of our city

Lights, music, innovation… action. Sydney is set to transform into a playground of the unexpected. Friday 27th May to Saturday 18th June.

After a tough two years for so many of us, Vivid Sydney ’22 promises to warm the soul of our city with light artists, music makers and brilliant thinkers… sparking our sense of wonder and inspiring us to come out to play as Sydney transforms before our eyes. We're delighted to confirm that International Towers will be joining those buildings adorned in decadent light this year. 

Here’s all you need to know about the dazzling array of Vivid delights on offer around Barangaroo and beyond.

Even more to explore and enjoy on the streets of Barangaroo

The Streets of Barangaroo (2)When Vivid Sydney lights up Barangaroo, it becomes an even bigger feast for your senses and even more of a ‘must-explore’ destination. Take in the artworks at Exchange Square and along Wulugul Walk, then discover why Barangaroo South is Sydney’s go-to dining destination, enjoying delicious, light-inspired fare from over 40 restaurants, bars and cafes and “cheeky tipple spots” – there’s something for everyone in this mouth-watering line-up.

See the Crowning Glory of our Connected City

Our connected city (1)Our Connected City seeks to connect the city with light. On every day of the year, our city’s buildings stand on their own - with their own colours, structures and identities. During Vivid Sydney this changes, and the connections between the city’s architecture and its people become more profound with a vibrant and colourful lighting design. These spectacular images of Sydney’s icons fill Australians with pride and are projected around the world.

 

Feel the Soul-Warming Glow of Nura

As a collaboration between Indigenous artist Warwick Keen and Mandylights, each pillar is wrapped in a unique First Nations memory. Seen together – in a first for Vivid Sydney – they form an expansive outdoor gallery of illuminated Indigenous art.
