Vivid Sydney returns for its 16th year, transforming the city with 23 nights of light, music, ideas and culinary innovation. The festival unites visionary artists, musicians, thinkers and chefs who reshape Sydney’s most recognisable spaces through large scale light installations, 3D projections, immersive performances and boundary pushing conversations.
As the largest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, Vivid draws visitors from around the world to experience Sydney at its most imaginative. The full program is yet to be released, but early demand is always high.
InterContinental Sydney Double Bay offers a refined base away from the festival crowds while keeping you seamlessly connected to the city’s key Vivid precincts.
After an evening exploring installations around Circular Quay, Darling Harbour or the Royal Botanic Garden, return to the calm of bayside luxury. Enjoy a nightcap at The Bar, unwind with in room dining, or begin your evening with dinner at Bayside Bistro & Bar before heading into the city.
For those seeking an elevated stay, Club InterContinental offers afternoon tea, evening drinks and a quiet vantage point before or after the lights.
– By Ferry: From Double Bay Wharf, ferries run directly to Circular Quay, offering a scenic arrival into one of Vivid’s central precincts.
– By Train: Edgecliff Station connects easily to Town Hall, Wynyard and Circular Quay, placing you moments from major installations.
– By Car or Taxi: Most precincts are 10–20 minutes away, depending on traffic and event timings.
Secure your stay early and discover Sydney’s most celebrated festival at your own pace.
