Late May to mid June is the time Sydney shines - people flock to the city at night to check out the dazzling lights. Vivid Festival is art, music and the big draw, the lights. Those that follow the blog for a number of years know that I go hard, and this year is no exception.
Instead of the crowds at the Opera House for opening night, we had dinner at Lotus at Barangaroo and checked out the lights there, and then strolled through Darling Harbour (just missing the 8pm fireworks) to Uber home.
For an easy Vivid experience with the kids, this is one way to do it. From our table at Lotus we saw the giant lady (and we kept going over to see her up close and the kids got to talk to her), and the 'storm' in the forest entertained us all through dinner.

There are so many locations to experience Vivid this year, there's really no reason not to go!

ReplyDeleteI saw that some parents said their kids were scared of her- I think she looks amazing!

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great time to have fun #triamphanttales@_karendennis
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy looking! I'm sure it's a fun time but that lady is scary!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool! I'd love it. I'm artsy, so possibly I'm in the minority. Some might say it's scary or strange.

I remember your posts from last year. I love the huge lady. I saw it on your IG too. You can really see the scale in your shots here. Thank you for linking up to #pointshoot 📷
ReplyDeleteThat's one giant lady indeed! And for sure the kids either love her or are afraid of here! I love her..so cool!

ReplyDeleteVery awesome! #pointshoot xoxo
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is going for her first time this year - I would love to go someday!
ReplyDeleteLydia,
ReplyDeleteI'm often caught off guard when I see someone wearing a jacket and cap this time of the year but then I realize that you're in the southern hemisphere. We're heating up and you're cooling down. Right about now, I could use a little cooler temps. I always tell DH there's no making me happy when it comes to the weather. lol Thanks for joining my #WW linky party. Have a good weekend, my friend!
