From 24 May to 15 June, the festival promises 23 nights of unforgettable experiences, exploring the theme of 'Humanity' through Light, Music, Ideas and Food.
Australia's largest event will transform Sydney with mesmerising light installations and 3D projections from Circular Quay to The Goods Line; genre-spanning music performances and creative showcases; a formidable Vivid Ideas program featuring experiences that will open minds; and a mouth-watering Vivid Food program.
Vivid Sydney 2024 will deliver an immersive, holistic and diverse festival, spotlighting what makes us uniquely human -- love, kindness, compassion and creativity - across the interactive experiences and events that make up the 23-day program.
John Graham, Minister for Jobs and Tourism, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy, said: "We're getting set for the 14th Vivid Sydney. It's an important event every year that Sydneysiders and visitors alike have come to love. It's not just a light show, it's a celebration of light, music, ideas and food - a program full of rich cultural experiences that resonate with locals and visitors alike.
"Vivid Sydney brings together important parts of Sydney's culture - Light, Music, Ideas and Food. It celebrates what's great and unique about our city, and our state and creates a uniquely Sydney experience. That's why it's been so popular over so many years.
"This year's festival will have a variety of free and cost-effective events on offer to provide many opportunities for people to come together and celebrate.
"Last year, the festival achieved the biggest attendance on record and the largest visitor expenditure in its history, with more than 3.48 million attendees generating more than $206 million in visitor expenditure.
"We look forward to welcoming Sydneysiders and the world as they come and experience first-hand Sydney at its creative best at Vivid Sydney 2024."
Vivid Sydney Festival Director Gill Minervini said this year's festival looks at how creativity fuels our interconnected world.
"Humanity is at the core of everything we do, and this year Vivid Sydney is diving deep into what makes us uniquely human," Ms Minervini said.
"We have curated a diverse program that explores the human spirit, designed to foster connections, spark imagination and showcase the multitude of ways creativity enriches our lives. Everyone is invited to be part of this global event in the world's most beautiful city to connect, create and celebrate."

LiberNovo 2026 Triple Launch: SE, Pro, and Maxis Introduce Dynamic Ergonomics for Every Body Type Across Europe18.5.2026 19:00:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, GB / ACCESS Newswire / May 18, 2026 / LiberNovo, the premium ergonomic chair brand pioneering movement-based seating, today confirmed the full details of its 2026 product expansion for the European market. Three new lines-the Omni SE, Omni Pro, and the all-new Maxis series-will be available to customers across the UK and EU starting June 16, with pre-orders now open. Across Europe, the shift toward hybrid and remote work has turned the home office into a permanent fixture. Yet the chair at the centre of that setup is often the last thing to be upgraded. Most ergonomic seating still operates on a decades-old premise: find the correct posture, lock it in, stay put. LiberNovo rejects that model entirely. Its Dynamic Ergonomics platform is built around continuous adaptation-chairs that respond to how users actually move through their day, rather than forcing them into a fixed position. With three distinct product lines, that approach now reaches users of every build and budget. Omn
