From 26 May to 17 June 2017, there is a dance party of light at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Vivid Sydney fans are invited to come and experience a 70's style multi-coloured flashing dance floor 134 metres above the festival, on 'The Vivid Climb'.
During Vivid Sydney, the Southern Hemisphere's largest festival of light, music and ideas, Sydney will host over three weeks of thought-provoking industry forums, outdoor lighting sculptures and exhibitions and an eclectic range of contemporary music performances.
Every night from 6pm to 11pm, during Vivid Sydney, the city will light up with sculptures, installations and grand-scale projections and the top of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge offers the best view.
One installation is exclusive to the patrons of The Vivid Climb; an illuminated dance floor of multi coloured flashing square tiles, as seen in the classic American film “Saturday Night Fever”. Here Climbers can break out their best (and worst) dance moves, to the top hits from the decade of their choice, with the Opera House colourfully lit up behind them.
Climbers will also become a part of the event themselves, wearing special Vivid Climb vests fitted with flashing lights. Climb groups will be seen illuminating the iconic steel arches by Vivid Sydney visitors from below in Circular Quay and Darling Harbour.
The Vivid Climb takes place during Vivid Sydney 2017 (26 May – 17 June), on all Climbs departing at night, including a Climb in Mandarin departing at 5.20pm each night. To book, please visit http://www.bridgeclimb.com/vivid
