The best snaps from Vivid

Sydney has flicked the switch on another successful Vivid Festival, which bathed the city in light for the last 18 days.

Almost 280,000 people braved the cold to check out the twinkling, colourful city, which stretched even further than usual to places like Chatswood and Sydney University, and Central Park.

NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events Stuart Ayres said Vivid Sydney has yet again captivated the imagination of visitors of all ages from across Australia and the world.

“Vivid Sydney showcases our creative industries to the world while also providing a platform for international artists and performers to demonstrate their creative talents here in Sydney. This year more than 80 light installations were created by 225 artists from 21 different countries, with their art lighting up Sydney’s winter nights and delighting local and international visitors.”

“Sydney really is the events capital of Australia and it’s been a huge 18 days for our city. We’ve had fantastic sporting events including Tottenham Hotspurs and Chelsea playing Sydney FC to massive crowds with both teams taking time out to experience our wonderful harbour city.”
