A grand festival marks a special time in Sydney — when the city reemerges from its pandemic dormancy and pours creative vigour throughout the skyline.
It has been two years without Vivid Sydney, and now the city is ready to light up again and welcome visitors from across the states and the whole world. There are surely many events and activities to look forward to — here’s what you can expect from Vivid Sydney 2022 and how you can make the most out of the experience with KKday-exclusive special packages.
What to Expect in This Year’s Vivid Sydney
Just like in the past years, Vivid Sydney will illuminate the city’s most iconic landmarks along the harbour and beyond, notably Sydney Opera House, Sydney Harbour Bridge, and even ships sailing by.
One of this year’s highlights is the Light Walk — part of the Vivid Light program — set to make history with the longest interconnected light installations extending 8 km. from Sydney Opera House to Central Station.
Vivid Light will be complemented by Vivid Music, with a pulsating line-up of artists and live performances taking over various spaces in the city.
Lastly, the Vivid Ideas program will further stimulate the mind with talks, conversations, and workshops tackling various themes, from the creative sector, innovation, health, and wellbeing to youth and LGBTQI+.
Many of the events are free, including Light Walk, while you’ll have to purchase tickets for others. You can search for events you might like on the Vivid Sydney website to know their respective details.
How to Make the Most Out of Vivid Sydney 2022
Boats sailing on the harbour will play a huge part in Vivid Sydney as they light up in synchrony with the Sydney Opera House and other structures on the waterfront.
You can experience this firsthand through KKday’s air, land, and sea combo packages. This lets you secure a seat or table aboard Captain Cook, one of the cruise liners that will decorate the harbour, and get a full view of the illuminated skyline.
