VIVID SET THE LIGHT UP SYDNEY MORE THAN EVER BEFORE

Vivid Sydney will light up the harbour city from 24 May to 10 June with an electrifying program of light, art, music and ideas that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors from interstate and overseas. Vivid Sydney celebrates Sydney as the creative hub of Australia and the Asia Pacific region, featuring immersive light installations and projections; free family events; music performances and collaborations; creative ideas, public talks, industry seminars, conferences, workshops and debates. Now in its fifth year, Vivid Sydney 2013 has a bigger than ever program across light, music and ideas including an expanded footprint in new precincts across Sydney.

In 2013 the Vivid Sydney footprint extends to include Darling Harbour, the focus of the Aquatique Show, a cutting-edge light, water and projection event synchronised to music. This is the first time a show of this complexity has been staged in Sydney, and Darling Harbour is the perfect location for the spectacular show that features a 60m-wide fountain filled with seawater and stunning LED lighting.

Also for the first time, Vivid Sydney is lighting the western façade of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge, a world-first feat as the general public controls the lighting, from an interactive panel located on the boardwalk beneath the bridge near Luna Park. Visitors can select a section of the bridge, choose a colour and send a message via the latest technology and the illuminated creation appears on the ionic bridge for the world to admire.
