Vivid Sydney Reschedules 2021 Event Due To Lockdown Extension

“Vivid Sydney will only proceed if it’s safe to do so.”

Vivid Sydney has been rescheduled. 

It was announced this afternoon that the event would move from its original date of 6 to 28 August to now run from 17 September to 9 October in light of the state's current COVID-19 outbreak. 

“We all want to see Sydney shine through the spectacular show of creativity and innovation that is Vivid Sydney in September and October this year,” said Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres of the reschedule. 

“The recent outbreak has presented a new challenge for everyone, and the health and safety of our citizens and entire event community involved in Vivid Sydney is our foremost concern.

“Destination NSW will continue to work with NSW Health and other agencies to deliver a COVID-safe Vivid Sydney later this year, with support from our event partners, artists, sponsors, and suppliers.

“Vivid Sydney will only proceed if it’s safe to do so.”

Full details of the revised event are expected soon, with ticketholders able to transfer their tickets to the new dates or request a refund.
