Event Details

Our Connected City transforms Sydney Harbour and the CBD into a breathtaking canvas of light, uniting iconic landmarks in a synchronised display each night of Vivid Sydney. From the AMP Tower, Barangaroo Towers to Sydney Harbour Bridge—and now, for the first time, Admiralty House on the North Sydney foreshore—the entire harbour becomes a 360-degree panorama of light.

Watch as the Sydney Harbour Bridge is illuminated by colour and motion, 150 searchlights sweep across the night sky and the water of Circular Quay reflects all the shimmering lights.

Plus, we welcome Admiralty House, the Governor-General’s official Sydney residence, with a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Australian honours system all Vivid Sydney long. The Kirribilli location will also feature a special light display to coincide with the King’s Birthday long weekend. Visible from Circular Quay, Admiralty House completes the ring of light around the harbour foreshore.

This brilliant display across both sides of the harbour celebrates connection—between our city, it’s people and our spectacular environment.

Participating buildings include:

Admiralty House
Sydney Harbour Bridge Approach
Park Hyatt
Shangri-La Hotel
Four Seasons Hotel
Marriot Hotel
1 O'Connel Street
Pullman Hotel
Circular Quay Train Station
