Vivid Sydney is all set to kick off despite the city being drenched in rain over the past week. The highly anticipated opening will feature fireworks, light shows, and food and beverage events, promising an unforgettable experience for visitors.
Although the drone show has been canceled this year due to safety concerns and increased costs, the fireworks display will still light up the sky from the Sydney Harbour Marriott, Circular Quay. Marriott Bonvoy is also offering discounts on stays across the city during Vivid, adding to the allure of the event.
Organizers have made changes to this year’s festival, focusing on more free events and a wider variety of experiences. The decision to forgo the drone show was based on safety considerations and the rising costs associated with staging the event, reflecting a shift in priorities towards enhancing the overall festival experience.
Despite the challenges posed by recent rainfall, including flash flooding and power outages, Vivid Sydney is pushing forward with its immersive festival. The event promises to showcase more projections and installations across Sydney, providing a unique platform for artists and visitors to engage with the city’s vibrant culture.
One of the highlights of Vivid Sydney 2025 is the return of the Vivid Fire Kitchen, located at The Goods Line in Ultimo. This culinary experience will feature live fire cooking demonstrations by leading pitmasters and barbecue experts from around the world, offering a diverse range of food options for attendees to enjoy.
The lineup of culinary talent includes renowned chefs like Jess Pryles and Nyesha Arrington, who will bring their expertise to the fire kitchen stage. Visitors can expect a fusion of international and local flavors, with dishes ranging from traditional barbecue to contemporary creations, catering to a wide range of tastes.
First Nations Nights will be a special feature of Vivid Fire Kitchen, celebrating the connection between First Nations culture and fire. Indigenous chefs will showcase traditional cooking techniques and share the significance of fire in their culinary traditions, offering a unique cultural experience for attendees.
With themed nights focusing on NSW seafood, regional wine tasting, and First Nations BBQ demos, Vivid Fire Kitchen promises to be a melting pot of culinary exploration and cultural storytelling. The event is free for all to attend and will run throughout the duration of Vivid Sydney.
As Vivid Sydney unfolds against the backdrop of a rain-soaked city, the festival’s resilience and creativity shine through, offering a beacon of light and warmth amid challenging conditions. The fusion of art, technology, and culture at Vivid Sydney embodies the spirit of innovation and community that defines the city’s identity.
With a diverse range of experiences and events planned, Vivid Sydney 2025 is poised to captivate audiences and showcase the best of Sydney’s vibrant cultural scene.
