Celebrating creativity, innovation and technology, Australia’s largest festival will dazzle and delight audiences for 23 days and nights across four pillars this year - Vivid Light, Vivid Music, Vivid Ideas and the new Vivid Food.
Vivid Sydney is proudly owned, managed and produced by Destination NSW. It is a vital economic driver for NSW during the winter months. Last year Vivid Sydney was attended by over 2.5 million people and injected $119 million into the NSW economy. From our creative industries to entertainment and hospitality venues, accommodation and retailers, it supports the entire ecosystem of the NSW visitor economy.
This year’s creative direction - 'Vivid Sydney, Naturally' - has been inspired by our connection to the natural environment and will be brought to life via a kaleidoscope of colourful light projections and activations, plus free and ticketed events, transforming buildings, spaces and venues throughout Sydney’s CBD.
Vivid Sydney Festival Director Gill Minervini said: “We have expanded and evolved the festival further this year and have curated an amazing line-up for 2023. The festival offering includes some significant new and Vivid-first experiences, as well as Vivid Food to deliver world-class culinary talent, events and activations as part of the program.”
Among the Vivid Sydney 2023 highlights revealed to coincide with the countdown are First Nations artist Maree Clarke’s Barerarerungar, which will be projected on the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Internationally renowned Jen Lewin’s The Last Ocean will also enthrall audiences following its 2022 debut at Burning Man.
Brand new festival pillar Vivid Food will activate across venues in Sydney’s CBD showcasing a variety of creativity, innovation and culinary experiences, from pop up restaurants to haute cuisine celebrating the city’s vibrant and diverse food culture.
The Vivid Sydney Light Walk will return, with more than 49 light installations and 3D projections along the 8km illuminated walk.
The complete program for Vivid Sydney 2023 will be announced in mid-March.
