NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Stuart Ayres, said “Festivals of this magnitude don’t just happen and I’d like to thank Destination NSW and the whole Vivid Sydney team, who delivered 90 light installations and projections throughout the city, programmed 190 Vivid Music gigs and hosted 658 speakers at 183 Vivid Ideas events.
“I’m absolutely delighted Vivid Sydney has once again shone a light on our stunning city.
“So many visitors enjoyed this year’s festival highlights, including Songlines on the Sails of the Sydney Opera House, the popular Cathedral of Light installation in the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney and Vivid Sydney’s wildest precinct, Taronga Zoo, alongside a host of other much-loved precincts, including the world-famous Vivid Light Walk.”
Destination NSW CEO and Executive Producer of Vivid Sydney Sandra Chipchase said “Sydneysiders have fully embraced this festival and are proud to share it with local and international visitors alike. From fantastic speakers at Vivid Ideas events, wonderful performances at Vivid Music, and of course the spectacle of Vivid Light, we are on track to break a few records when final figures are known.
“I’d like to thank all participants, volunteers, sponsors, venues and visitors for their support and contribution to making Vivid Sydney 2016 such a success.”
Vivid Sydney cements the global city’s position as a creative capital of the Asia Pacific, showcasing art, technology and innovation.
