Vivid Sydney – the Harbour City\u2019s iconic celebration of lights, music and ideas – will return in August 2021.
\nThe popular and award-winning event will bring creativity, innovation and excitement to Sydney in a COVID-safe manner for locals, visitors and global fans to enjoy, near or afar.
\nMinister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Vivid Sydney was an important cultural, social and economic beacon for NSW.
\n\u201cMajor events will play a critical role in stimulating the visitor economy and NSW\u2019s broader COVID-19 recovery strategy,\u201d Minister Ayres said.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re cautiously optimistic that with a slight delay to regular scheduling, Vivid Sydney will be able to proceed as the bright, dynamic event we all know and love in August next year.
\n\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that all future events will need to make adjustments to be COVIDsafe in line with NSW Health advice and reflect the changes we are experiencing in day-to-day life.
\n\u201cVivid Sydney has always celebrated and explored innovation and creativity, but more importantly brought joy to people who visit in person or who follow the media and social media coverage.
\n\u201cWe look forward to reigniting that excitement and passion within the artistic community and our supporters, and creating tangible opportunities for the tourism industry by driving visitors to Sydney and NSW in a safe way.\u201d
\nIn 2019, a record 2.4 million people attended Vivid Sydney, generating $172 million in tourism expenditure.
\nFurther details about Vivid Sydney 2021 will be shared later in 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
