Sydney Shines

Vivid Sydney 2022 – the annual festival of light, music and ideas.

Not the sunrise morning light I’m used to – but where the city of Sydney lights up, with music, creative activations, projections & performances for 23 days and nights.

In 2019, 2.4 million people filled the streets of Sydney to watch it light up. To put it into context, that’s the entire population of Western Australia.

One of my favourite parts of experiencing Vivid Sydney is seeing the Sydney Opera House Lighting of the Sails. It’s pure magic. Start there, and then follow the 8km Light Walk which – for the first time ever –  winds continuously all the way to Central Station.

This year, there are works by 62 light collaborators and 114 light artists from 5 countries.  This magical experience is yours to see until the 18th of June. Rug up and take the kids – it’s a pretty special thing to immerse yourself in.

Oh, and there’s surf today. Well over head high, clean offshore grooming breezes. Have a good long weekend.
