Sydney has come alive in colour and creativity as Vivid Sydney 2025 officially launched its 15th edition. Under this year’s theme, Dream, the city invites visitors to experience a dazzling mix of light, ideas, music, and food over 23 nights until June 14.
Spanning five unique zones across the CBD with over 200 events, Vivid Sydney encourages everyone to see the city in a new light – quite literally. With more than 75 per cent of the programme being complimentary, including the full Vivid Light Walk and the return of Martin Place after seven years, the festival is more accessible than ever.
World-renowned names like Martha Stewart, Nigella Lawson, Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, and Portishead’s Beth Gibbons will headline events that celebrate creativity and community. The festival kicked off at the Overseas Passenger Terminal with the First Light ceremony featuring NAISDA dancers and a spectacular pyrotechnic display illuminating Sydney’s landmarks, followed by a free concert celebrating First Nations music.
Vivid Sydney continues to shine as a premier Asia-Pacific destination and a festival that invites all to dream, explore, and celebrate.
