Vivid is a festival of light, music and ideas held in Sydney, Australia for 23 nights, so you still have time to make it there.

Vivid Sydney, now in its eighth year, is the world’s largest event of its kind combining lights, music and ideas. There are over 90 light installations spread throughout Sydney by 150 artists from 23 countries, making it Australia’s largest event in winter (yes, it’s winter in the southern hemisphere).

There’s a lot to do, see and brainstorm, so if you’re in for an unforgettable experience, find out more on vividsydney.com. The photos below might give you the urge to travel to Sydney.
