Vivid Sydney, launched in 2009, has grown into a world-renowned festival of light, music, and ideas, transforming the city into a vibrant creative canvas. Each year, millions of visitors are drawn to its breathtaking light installations and projections, live music performances, and thought-provoking discussions, especially right here in our backyard at Cockle Bay Wharf and throughout Darling Harbour.
When you’re exploring Vivid Sydney, make sure you check out the Cockle Bay Wharf dining options here, especially as we have Vivid-inspired cocktails. Choose from a variety of restaurants and bars, offering everything from casual bites to fine dining, all with stunning waterfront views.
This year, you can expect to be captivated by Hika Rakuyo, a stunning light and laser show inspired by Japanese concepts of transience. Watch as native Australian flowers bloom across the night sky in a mesmerising 8-minute holographic display.
Don't miss this awe-inspiring show lighting up the sky above Cockle Bay each night of Vivid Sydney, from 6pm to 10:45pm. Find out and explore even more dazzling experiences in Darling Harbour during Vivid Sydney here.
