VIVID RETURNS TO LIGHT UP SYDNEY

The spectacular 23-day festival has returned and will run from Friday 27 May until Saturday 18 June with lights on from 6pm to 11pm each night.

Transport for NSW Chief Operations Officer Howard Collins said with millions of people expected to turn out to see Sydney’s iconic landmarks, we will have plenty of extra public transport services, including trains, buses and light rail.

“We encourage everyone to plan their Vivid Sydney experience across several nights because there are a plethora of light installations and projections to see across the city, and you won't get to see it all in one night,” Mr Collins said.

“Public transport is the most convenient option to get to and from Vivid Sydney with all precincts within walking distance of major transport hubs, so leave the car at home.

“We expect local and international visitors to once again fall in love with the city during Vivid Sydney, and expect queues similar to the fare free period over the recent Easter holiday.”

The Vivid Sydney light walk is longer than ever this year and will extend from Circular Quay and The Rocks to Walsh Bay, Barangaroo Reserve, Barangaroo precinct, King Street Wharf, Darling Harbour and Central Station. Vivid Sydney will also light up Sydney's famous Taronga Zoo and Luna Park with ticketed sessions available.

“Roads around The Rocks and Circular Quay will close each night from 5pm with more extensive closures in the Sydney CBD and around Darling Harbour on Friday nights and weekends,” Mr Collins said.

Public transport services will be affected during Vivid Sydney so plan ahead.
