Apr 30, 2024

The much awaited Vivid Sydney returns to dazzle from May 24 to June 15, drawing millions to the city. While the 2024 Vivid Sydney Local Business Program might be fully booked, there's no shortage of ways to illuminate your restaurant or bar and capture the Vivid magic.

#1) Craft an Vivid-themed Experience or Menu
Create a themed menu full of colors and flavors that reflect the festival's enchanting lights. Or host an exclusive event like a mixology masterclass featuring Vivid-themed cocktails, captivating locals and visitors alike.

#2) Optimise Your Social Media Content
TikToks and IG reels are your best friend. Create fun content showcasing your restaurant and use hashtags like #VividSydney2024 to reach a wider audience. Mix that in with tip #1 and you’re golden!

#3) Illuminate Your Venue's Facade
Like the landmarks around you, make sure you celebrate the festival by lighting up your venue's facade. Use vibrant lights or projections that complement Vivid Sydney's theme, making your establishment an IG-worthy spot.

#4) Keep the Party Going Post-Vivid
After the light shows, keep the festivities alive by positioning your venue as the ultimate post-Vivid hotspot. Offer enticing late-night menus, live music, or themed parties to attract crowds seeking a lively atmosphere and memorable experiences.

#5) Collaborate with Local Creatives
Partner with local artists or performers to add an interactive and artistic touch to your Vivid Sydney experience. From live art installations to captivating performances, these collaborations enhance the festival spirit and showcase your support for the local arts scene.
