Vivid Sydney 2026

#vividsydney is Sydney's annual festival of Light, Music, Ideas and Food.

Friday 22nd May 2026 - Saturday 13th June 2026

Sydney's annual festival of Light, Music, Minds & Food.

Transforming Sydney for 23 days and nights, in 2026 for its 16th year, Vivid Sydney will fuse art, innovation and technology in collaboration with some of the most boundary-pushing artists, musicians, thinkers and culinary experts of our time.

Vivid Light

Vivid Light transforms Sydney's streets, parks and buildings into a wonderland. Easier to explore than ever, this year's Vivid Light Walk is an unbroken 6.5km of art, transforming Circular Quay and The Rocks, Barangaroo and Darling Harbour. Pushing creative and technological boundaries, the Vivid Light Walk spans large-scale projections, interactive installations, and cutting-edge laser and digital art.

Vivid Music

Vivid Music delivers an electrifying lineup of global and homegrown talent, from intimate gigs to high-energy performances.

Vivid Minds

New to Vivid Sydney, Vivid Minds is where Art, Performance and Ideas collide. Expanding upon and reimagining the previous Ideas programming, Vivid Minds complements talks with festival-first artforms and events, including invigorating theatrical spectacles and immersive experiences.

Vivid Food

A feast for the senses, Vivid Food brings together world-leading chefs in celebration of NSW's dining scene and produce, as well as the stories, flavours and cultures behind every dish.

Program

Go beyond in 2026 with Vivid Sydney, as we expand our horizons with new artistic genres and forms, in an arts program full of invigorating festival firsts.
