NEW-LOOK VIVID SYDNEY APP TO HELP FESTIVAL GOERS MOVE AROUND

Visitors to the world’s largest festival of light, music and ideas are being encouraged to download the new-look Vivid Sydney smartphone app to find their way around the stunning precincts and events featured in the 2016 program.

NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said Vivid Sydney has an expanded footprint with new precincts and visitors can use the app to browse and discover all Vivid Sydney light installations, music and ideas events.

“This app is a fantastic way to interact with our biggest festival yet, with so many fantastic light installations and projections, music, and ideas events. The app includes Vivid Trails, bringing Vivid Sydney to life with itineraries exploring different precincts, light walks and types of events,” Mr Ayres said.

Destination NSW CEO and Executive Producer of Vivid Sydney Sandra Chipchase said the app will be a must-have addition for visitors keen to experience as much of Vivid Sydney as possible.

“The app features maps conveniently matching visitors’ current location with nearby installations and events, making moving around Vivid Sydney even easier,” Ms Chipchase said.

“Users can also save their favourite light installations, events and precincts and speakers with a My Vivid log in feature. This year we are also very excited about the new precinct additions to Vivid Sydney, with the festival welcoming The Galeries, Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and Taronga Zoo giving visitors even more opportunities to experience this fantastic event.”

Visitors coming to Vivid Sydney are being encouraged to leave the car at home and use public transport, including 3,200 extra bus services and over 600 extra train services running in addition to the regular timetable services.

Vivid Sydney is owned, managed and produced by the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency Destination NSW and runs from 27 May to 18 June.

The free Vivid Sydney app is now available on Google Play and iTunes stores. For more information visit the Vivid Sydney website.
