A journey of light, colour and sound

Experience the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney in a new light, with breath-taking lightworks created by acclaimed local and international artists.

Wander beneath towering tree canopies illuminated in colour, stroll beneath larger-than-life flowers and through dynamic, glowing tunnels. Discover moments of wonder to share with everyone. 

Direct from New York, Chicago and London, Lightscape sells out across the world and is brought to Sydney by award-winning, international trail-producers Sony Music as part of Vivid Sydney 2024.

Lightscape at the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney will run every day during Vivid Sydney 2024, from Friday 24 May to Saturday 15 June inclusive.

Tickets for this event are timed in 15-minute increments from 5pm onwards each night, with the exception of opening night (Friday 24 May) when the first available timeslots will be from 6pm. We recommend 90 minutes to enjoy your event. Last entry onto the trail will be 10 minutes after the final advertised timeslot.
