Vivid 2026 Walking Tour!

The 6.5km Vivid Light Walk features 43 light installations in a streamlined, continuous format, delivering a more user-friendly and impactful visitor experience, stretching from Circular Quay and The Rocks through to Barangaroo and Darling Harbour.

Opera Mundi — Sydney Opera House sails French artist Yann Nguema brings his projection work Opera Mundi to the Opera House sails. Scored by Romanian classical-electronic musician Mischa Blanos, the work takes the elemental forces that inspired architect Jørn Utzon — sky, land and sea — as its starting point.

Molecule of Light — Barangaroo Reserve British artist Chris Levine’s 23-metre laser and sound installation is the tallest structure in this year’s festival. Single-frequency beams and geometric light patterns are paired with a solfeggio soundscape.

Vivid Food becomes a powerful multicultural storyteller, celebrating the distinctive flavours and cultures of NSW. The beloved Vivid Fire Kitchen will debut at its new home on the Stargazer Lawn at Barangaroo Reserve, while at the heart of the new Regional Dinner Series is A Shared Table with Yotam Ottolenghi, where the world-renowned chef will bring together ingredients and flavours from across the state.
