Sydney

Vivid Festival

Sydney

A festival of light, music and ideas, VIVID is one of Sydney’s best annual happenings, thanks to performances from local and international musicians (cult electronica outfit Kraftwerk were the headliners of the 2013 festival), workshops featuring global leaders and spectacular light displays that illuminate landmark buildings around town like the Customs House, the Museum of Contemporary Art and of course the Sydney Opera House. The 18-day event is the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.
