  Vivid Sydney’s 12th edition is only a few days away and the countdown is already on! The festival, over the years, has become an iconic festival of creativity and innovation—warming up the winter days for the city dwellers with its lights, music and ideas. If you’re planning to enjoy the most of this year’s Vivid Sydney, here are some handpicked experiences for you. 

   

  Vivid Sydney on Sydney Harbour is one of the grandest sights ever. This year, get on board a luxury Vivid dinner cruise to see all the displays without having to outsmart the crowd. Whether it’s Darling Harbour, Barangaroo, The Rocks, Circular Quay or Sydney Harbour, most of Vivid’s light displays and art installations take on a whole new perspective when viewed from the water. There are many Vivid Sydney cruise options that include all sorts of inclusions—from food and entertainment to some of the best festival sights. Get your ticket for a Vivid cruise journey today. 

   

  In order to see the most of Vivid Sydney, you may have to walk a few kilometers extra than what you may have imagined. To keep you energised and hyped up for the whole evening, we can’t expect ourselves to tackle the long night without some good grub in your belly. Thanks to the numerous restaurants, Vivid Food Trucks and dining precincts scattered across the Vivid pathways, you can keep yourself well sated. Some of the restaurants in the city even offer spesh meals and extended hours to zest up the Vivid experience for the crowd. And let’s hear the best bit about these places? You can pop in and out of these restaurants whenever they don’t take reservations during the festival weeks. 

   

  The stellar line up of artists and artworks have been revealed, ranging from phenomenal multi-dimensional installations to light displays that will leave you spellbound. As our clocks count down to the much anticipated event, let’s take a look at some of the best installations you’ll see:

   

  • Ephemeral at Cockle Bay

   

  Head down to Cockle Bay to find yourself surrounded by some 200 larger-than-life bubble spheres placed throughout the display. These alluring bubble-spheres float between a vibrant spectrum of rainbow colours, offering a perfect picture from all angles. 

   

  • Point of View at The Rocks

   

  The Rocks in Sydney will host a large canvas titled Point of View which brandishes the portraits by local artist Brad Robson and Esem Projects. The artist’s stroke of precision is that it gives a glimpse into Sydney’s community, past and present illuminating from the canvas. Robson’s work comes to Sydney after it has been previously displayed in Los Angeles, Barcelona, Berlin and New York.                      

   

  • Vorax at Customs House, Circular Quay

   

  This 3D installation named Vorax is created by artist Ho Sheung Ning and Hong Kong’s Treacle Media. It represents a captivating narrative of a thief’s rise to power through mind-bending dimensions as the character in question battles magical creatures. The installation incites curiosity through visual arts and animation.
