The 2016 Vivid Sydney festival kicked off with the Circular Quay precinct lit up for the opening night with the Sydney Opera House putting on a show for viewers with contemporary Australian indigenous art.
Other areas in the city which were also illuminated included Martin Place, Walsh Bay, the Royal Botanic Gardens and The Rocks.
This year, the winter attraction is expecting to pull in more than 1.7 million visitors — the number of visitors seen as last year’s festival which delivered a record $63.2 million in visitor expenditure to NSW.
Vivid Sydney is currently in its eighth year.
