Here, we explore the must-visit weekend activities and how you can get into the spirit of things at Zone Bowling during this year’s Vivid Sydney event.
The Best Weekend Activities During Vivid Sydney
It seems like the entire city comes to life when Vivid Sydney takes over the cityscape. Below, we explore some of the best places to explore the festival’s mind-boggling experiences.
Visual Art in Darling Harbour
One of the best places to experience all the fun is throughout the Darling Harbour precinct. As creativity fills the night sky, renowned destinations like the Exchange Building, the HMAS Vampire and King Street Wharf feature incredible projections that transform these urban spaces into dynamic and often interactive visual experiences.
Home The Venue hosts the ‘Future Art is Vivid’ exhibition, featuring a myriad of VR experiences and NFT artworks projected onto every surface for those who want to catch up with the latest digital art. Meanwhile, a jam-packed live music schedule spanning 12 nights presents everything from local bands to international DJs, and children’s performers keep the atmosphere pumping.
Dine and Relax in Sydney CBD
Vivid Sydney isn’t just about showcasing a stunning visual feast — there are plenty of opportunities to dine on incredible cuisine. Sydney CBD is where you’ll find much of the action, with many of the city’s most respected restaurants, cafes and pubs hosting innovative dining events that combine food, light, music, and creativity.
Even if you’re more of a ‘meat and two vegs’ person, embrace the imagination of Vivid Sydney and the city’s reputation for multicultural cuisine to discover where art and food combine. For something a little simpler, you can gather the whole family for a delightful picnic in Hyde Park before wandering the city streets in search of fascinating artwork.
