Longest ever Vivid Sydney Light Walk to delight families this winter

From an illuminated, interactive floor linked to grand piano to a spectacular Australian-first water light show, Vivid Sydney’s Light Walk is set to delight families this winter – and it’s all free.

Owned and managed by Destination NSW, the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, Vivid Sydney is the largest light, music and ideas festival in the Southern Hemisphere, on from 24 May to 10 June. It’s a ‘must see’ global event, highly anticipated by Sydneysiders and visitors alike.

With just under a month to go until the lights switch on, Vivid Sydney will welcome families from around Australia and overseas, who will join locals in an ‘after dark’ winter wonderland of interactive light installations, illuminated skyscrapers and large scale projections including the world famous Lighting of the Sails on the Sydney Opera House.

From 6pm until midnight each night, people of all ages can wander along the iconic harbour foreshore, taking in the Vivid Sydney Light Walk from Fort Denison, through Circular Quay, The Rocks and Walsh Bay. With Darling Harbour and the Sydney Harbour Bridge interactive light feature at North Sydney, there’s something for everyone - front and centre of Sydney’s famous harbour.

Easy to get around, the Vivid Sydney Light Walk is dotted with entertaining installations including a floating garden bed made entirely of fibre optic grass, a mirror that bends and ripples its reflection, and a simulation of hundreds of moths drawn to the streetlights.
