The NSW Government is inviting people to help light up the city’s iconic skyline during Vivid Sydney 2026. The festival’s interactive program, Your Connected City will give the public the opportunity to design a personalised light display that will be projected across some of Sydney Harbour’s most recognisable landmarks, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Overseas Passenger Terminal and the Cahill Expressway.
Open to participants of all ages and from anywhere in the world, the Your Connected City experience invites users to create their own colour palette and lighting design through an easy-to-use online tool. Successful submissions will be brought to life on Sydney’s skyline for a 30-second display during the festival, which runs from 22 May to 13 June.
Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said the experience is a chance for people to leave their creative mark on the world stage. “Vivid Sydney is Australia’s largest event and one of the world’s largest arts festivals, drawing millions of visitors and putting Sydney on the global stage,” Mr Kamper said.
“This interactive experience reflects what Vivid Sydney is all about; creativity, connection and community, while also supporting local businesses and boosting the visitor economy.”
Vivid Sydney is Australia’s largest event and one of the world’s biggest arts festivals, attracting millions of visitors and transforming Sydney with a vibrant program of light, music, ideas and food.
Participants whose designs are selected will also have the opportunity to see their name featured alongside their work, creating a memorable and shareable moment during the event.
