Event Details

Composer: Bailey Pickles

Our City Connected brings our city together through light. On every other day of the year, Sydney’s buildings stand on their own. During Vivid Sydney the city’s architecture and the Sydney Harbour Bridge are brought together as a canvas for dynamic lasers and searchlights.

Watch as colourful light illuminates the whole Harbour Bridge, with pulses beginning at the northern end of the bridge and travelling across the world-famous span, through The Rocks and around Circular Quay.

Above the city, one hundred and fifty searchlights cut upwards into the night sky, tracing lines of light across the clouds. Below, on the surface of Sydney Harbour, thousands of individual light sources are reflected in the mirror-like waters of Circular Quay.

These lights connect us, our city and our environment. They all work together in perfect synchronisation and uniformity. A reminder of how we can all work together for a brighter future.
