Vivid Sydney 2026: A Local's Guide to the Best Bits

Vivid Sydney 2026 is one of the world's great light festivals — 23 nights of free light shows, music and ideas across Sydney Harbour, the Sydney Opera House, and the CBD. Running 22 May to 13 June, this is your local's guide to what's actually worth going to, from a couple who've been attending since the very first one. In this video we cover the best of the free Light Walk (6.5km from Circular Quay to Darling Harbour), the music program at the Sydney Opera House, the Star-Bound drone show over Cockle Bay, Vivid Fire Kitchen at Barangaroo, and the practical tips that make the difference between a great night and a frustrating one. We'll have a full follow-up video from inside the festival — subscribe so you don't miss it.
