Colour and creativity to light up CBD for Vivid Sydney 2022

NSW Government

Sydney’s landscape will once again become a unique urban canvas for the return of Vivid Sydney, the world-renowned festival of light, music and ideas.

Customs House lit up with colourful lights for Vivid Sydney.

Staged over 23 nights from 27 May until 18 June, Destination NSW’s premier event will feature mesmerising art displays, 3D light projections, uplifting live music performances and deep-dive discussions from the world’s brightest minds.

In a festival first, the spectacular Light Walk will stretch continuously for 8km, linking the Sydney Opera House to Central Station with 47 installations and projections on buildings and historical landmarks in between.

The event will also feature the signature work of Sydney’s own Ken Done on Customs House, near Circular Quay.

Minister for Tourism and Sport Stuart Ayres said the Vivid Sydney will return joy to the city after a two-year hiatus.

“The 2022 program will be the biggest and brightest yet, with many festival-firsts, providing even more reasons for Sydneysiders and visitors from around the country – and all over the world – to immerse themselves in our city at its creative best,” Mr Ayres said.
