Vivid Sydney, a festival of light, music and ideas, is a major celebration of the creative industries. Now in its fourth year, Vivid has grown to become the biggest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting over 400,000 attendees in 2011.

The hugely popular light component of the festival will see an expansive maze of over 50 interactive light art sculptures illuminate Circular Quay and The Rocks after dark, as well as 3D mapped projections on the Sydney Opera House, Customs House and the Museum of Contemporary Art. These installations, created by artists from all over the world, are free for public viewing.

The two other components of the program are performances from local and international musicians at Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House, and the Vivid Ideas Exchange at the Museum of Contemporary Art, featuring public talks and debates from leading global creative thinkers.
