VIVID, the world-famous festival of light, music and ideas returns for another dazzling and highly anticipated season in 2026.

Customs House becomes a canvas as Spanish artist Javier Riera transforms the façade with a meditative projection; a piece inspired by nature’s designs, revealing the hidden geometric patterns that quietly shape the world around us.

Accompanying this transformation is a resonant score by musician, producer, sound designer and Rivera’s son – Luminecho; an exciting collaboration.

Cafe Sydney offers a front-row seat to the magic of Vivid Sydney with sweeping views across Sydney Harbour. Whether you’re entertaining guests, colleagues or simply indulging, we look forward to seeing you throughout the festival as the city illuminates with the energy of Vivid Sydney.
