Vivid Sydney awarded Best Tourism Event in Australia

Friday, November 23, 2018

Capping off another impressive year for the festival of light, music and ideas, Australia’s largest event Vivid Sydney was awarded Best Tourism Event at the Australian Event Awards overnight.

NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall welcomed the accolade and said it was another coup for the nation’s premier State for major events.

“NSW is without doubt Australia’s premier destination for major events and this award demonstrates that the NSW Government’s commitment to presenting a world class calendar of major events is paying dividends,” Marshall said.

“Vivid Sydney is the cherry on the cake when it comes to the NSW events program and it’s become an unmissable experience for Sydneysiders and visitors alike as our capital city is transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour.

“With its three pillars of light, music and ideas there is no doubt that, 10 years strong, Vivid Sydney is one of the most highly anticipated events on the worldwide cultural calendar.”

Vivid Sydney is owned, managed and produced by Destination NSW. It features three core ‘pillars’ – Vivid Light , Vivid Music, Vivid Ideas.
