VIVID SYDNEY FESTIVAL TO LIGHT UP IN THREE WEEKS

With three weeks to go until Vivid Sydney illuminates the city, 141 artists from 23 countries are working to create more than 80 light installations and projections that will appear in more than eight Vivid Sydney precincts spread across Sydney.

NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said “With less than a month to go until Vivid Sydney begins, our city is gearing up for this year’s festival which will once again shine a light on Sydney as a hub for culture and innovation.

“The city’s hotels and major attractions are reporting strong bookings and are preparing to welcome visitors from across Australia and the world who will travel to Sydney to be a part of this incredible annual event.

“I encourage everyone to make plans for Vivid Sydney today, as there is so much on offer over the festival’s 23 nights.”

Destination NSW CEO and Vivid Sydney Executive Producer Sandra Chipchase said “Vivid Sydney is simply too big to cover in just one night. It’s the combination of light, music and ideas that makes Vivid Sydney a completely unique experience.

“Visitors should plan to stay in Sydney and surrounds to enjoy a jam-packed schedule of daytime Ideas talks, seminars and forums combined with night time tours of the light installations and evening music performances, then add on a few days in wonderful Regional NSW to make it the perfect trip.”

In 2016, Vivid Sydney will host its longest program ever, running for 23 nights from 27 May until 18 June.
