Now in its fourth year, the biggest annual winter festival in the Southern Hemisphere is back: Vivid Sydney is ready to transform the city for 18 days of light, music and ideas. Every night during the festival Vivid Light will kindle 50 art sculptures around Walsh Bay, The Rocks and Circular Quay.
Aside from the psychedelic projections, there will be free and ticketed events for Vivid LIVE and Vivid Ideas, recently ranked as one of the world’s best ideas festivals by the Guardian.

 This is one of my favourite times of the year. Sure, the mercury's now dropping faster than Craig Thomson's pantalones at a house of ill repute. But outside of January's Sydney Festival-led fun, this week and next are two of our city's most culturally interesting. And that's all thanks to people like Ignatius Jones, Fergus Linehan, Jess Scully and Anthony Bastic, who curate the Vivids: Sydney, LIVE, Ideas and Light, respectively. These are a few of Sydney's world-class futureshapers, leaders of thought in their respective fields who, rather than lament what Sydney might lack as a city located in the non-NATO world, do their very best to make our city one big cultural hothouse in its own right.
It's not every day one of Sydney's best street artists knocks on your door and says he wants to paint a mural for one of your readers. This week you can win that, which is worth a hefty $5k, or tickets to the opening of an incredible new party or an incredibly worthy film festival. Or you could even get along to help launch one of Sydney's new food trucks.
Told you it was going to be a good week.
