Vivid Sydney 2023, Australia’s largest festival’s lights will be on at 6 pm on 26 May, celebrating creativity, innovation, and technology, will dazzle and delight audiences for 23 days and nights across four pillars this year – Vivid Light, Vivid Music, Vivid Ideas and the brand new Vivid Food.
Ben Franklin, Minister for Tourism said that Vivid Sydney was one of Australia’s best events and a vital economic driver for NSW during the winter months.
“Vivid Sydney is NSW’s biggest annual event and makes a vital social and economic contribution to our state. From our creative industries to entertainment and hospitality venues, accommodation, and retailers, it supports and creates jobs across the NSW economy,” said Mr. Franklin.
“Last year Vivid Sydney was attended by over 2.5 million people and injected $119 million into the NSW economy. With international borders fully reopening, we’re anticipating this year’s festival to be our biggest and best yet. Vivid Sydney 2023 promises to be a significant driver for domestic and international visitors to travel to NSW and attend Australia’s brightest event and immerse themselves in our city.”
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. Mr. Franklin added.
Vivid Sydney Festival Director Gill Minervini said this year’s festival would raise the bar even higher than past events with festival-firsts, world-firsts, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
“We are proud to have curated an impressive collection of local and international artists and food creatives to provide Vivid Sydney audiences with new and exciting experiences,” Ms. 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.”
The internationally acclaimed, multi-sensory experience of light, colour, and sounds, Lightscape, will transform The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney for the first time at Vivid Sydney.
