Vivid Sydney
In 2025, Vivid Sydney invites you to step into a world of dreams—limitless, boundless, and full of possibility. Dreams inspire, connect, and ignite creativity. They are the foundation of art, music, storytelling, and innovation.
This year, Vivid Sydney challenges you to dream with the lights on, to embrace imagination without limits, and to explore new ideas through light, music, ideas, and food. From awe-inspiring installations to thought-provoking discussions and unforgettable performances, the festival will immerse you in dreams that delight, provoke, and inspire.
Join us as Darling Harbour transforms into a playground of creativity and wonder, where dreams take flight and anything is possible. Make your dreams come true at Vivid Sydney 2025.
