Vivid Sydney 2025 returns from May 23 to June 14, once again transforming the Harbour City into a playground of light, sound, and creativity. This year’s theme, “Dream”, invites visitors to explore the power of imagination and possibility, reflecting Sydney’s dynamic energy and creative heartbeat.

For 23 vibrant nights, the city will come alive with immersive light installations, large-scale projections, and interactive experiences that illuminate buildings, laneways, and harbourside precincts. Visitors can follow the iconic Light Walk stretching through Circular Quay, The Rocks, Barangaroo, Darling Harbour, Martin Place, and the Inner City. Each area will showcase unique artworks and visual spectacles designed to engage, inspire, and surprise.

Beyond the lights, Vivid Music presents an eclectic lineup of local and international artists, with performances across intimate venues, outdoor stages, and unexpected pop-up locations. Meanwhile, Vivid Ideas offers a platform for visionaries, creatives, and change-makers to share bold ideas through talks, workshops, and panels covering topics from tech to culture and social change.

Food takes centre stage too, with Vivid Food offering curated dining events, limited-edition menus, and immersive gastronomic experiences led by acclaimed chefs and food creatives.

Whether you’re exploring with family, enjoying a night out with friends, or seeking inspiration, Vivid Sydney 2025 promises a captivating celebration of creativity and connection. It’s a chance to see the city in a whole new light—and to dream big.
