Where to get the best view of the city this VIVID Sydney light festival

Sydney Harbour Bridge

VIVID Sydney is the city’s annual celebration of light, music and experience the city-wide, offering locals and visitors yet another reason to head into town – other than to eat at Sydney’s quality restaurants – to enjoy what the city can put on. And the best view for it all, of course, is from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, courtesy of BridgeClimb. Following the sell-out success of the Vivid Sydney Climb in 2022, BridgeClimb is excited to announce they are expanding their Vivid Sydney program with four extraordinary experiences on the iconic Harbour Bridge, such as: Vivid Sydney Climb  This climb is the original Vivid Climb, available from 26 May to 17 June 2023. The Vivid Sydney Climb is an unforgettable experience that offers you the chance to ascend to the Summit of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge during the world’s largest festival of light, music, and ideas and immerse yourself as the city transforms into a mesmerising canvas of colour, light, and sound.  Light Up Your Senses at the Pylon  This climb is a Vivid Sydney first, offering a uniquely Vivid Sydney experience hosted by BridgeClimb within the iconic South-East Pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This hidden gem, which is a historic landmark, will be open to the public for the first time during the festival, providing guests with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to indulge in the unique views, local sounds, and flavours of New South Wales.

Vivid light festival returns to the Sydney Harbour Bridge

Vivid Sydney Harbour Bridge

The annual Vivid light festival is coming back to Sydney 27 May to 18 June and the world renowned Sydney Opera House is getting in on the action. Running from Thursday to Monday throughout the festival period, the first Vivid Climb will go each afternoon and anyone walking will reach the summit of the Sydney Harbour Bridge in time to witness Sydney’s soul come alive with a dazzling display of colour. And this year, in a BridgeClimb first, Vivid Climb groups will also be greeted with light installations throughout their pre-climb journey and will get to top off their night with a complimentary post-climb gin and tonic in the pop-up Hendrick’s Gin Unusual Celebration Bar. If you’re fancying a climb, then you’re looking at two options to see the lights this year… Vivid Photographer Tour + Masterclass: a once-in-a-lifetime experience on the South-East Pylon’s Gundeck (not usually open to the public) with a short masterclass on night time shooting followed by a Vivid photography session with Glenn McKimmin. Pylon & Picasso: an art class, hosted by Pinot & Picasso, atop the beloved Sydney Harbour Bridge’s South-East Pylon, starting with a guided tour of the BridgeClimb Pylon Lookout & Museum before the art class commences from the lookout level.
