The lights are well and truly on for Sydney's sparkliest festival – in fact, they'll be turning off very soon, with the last day of Vivid Sydney 2024 coming up this Saturday, June 15. This year, it's not just bigger than ever – it has a multidisciplinary program designed to interrogate the way we think about the human condition.
