Stargazer Lawn is the new home for Vivid Fire Kitchen, which unites global and local chefs in an ode to the great Aussie backyard, complete with open-fire cooking demonstrations, talks, tastings and more. Open every night of Vivid Sydney, this vibrant casual dining hub builds community and connection, with authentic flavours and shared stories that span diverse cultures and cuisines.
A spectacle unlike any other arrives at Barangaroo Reserve with Vivid Sydney’s largest artwork to date Molecule of Light, a celestial and cerebral 23-metre-tall laser installation from revered British artist Chris Levine.
