EVENT VIVID SYDNEY

After last year’s cancellation, Vivid Sydney will return in August. The 2021 festival will showcase illuminations on some of the city’s most iconic venues – the nightly lighting of the Opera House’s sails is always a highlight! Stunning light projections and a program of concerts will feature, too. With travel now an option, the winter festival could be the perfect time to visit Sydney if you’re not local or interstate. (Vivid Sydney will run from Aug. 6 to 28)
