Vivid Sydney 2026: Tumbalong Kids
Listen up, legends! Vivid Sydney is back for 2026, and it’s looking absolutely cracker. Forget trying to convince the little ones that ‘early to bed’ is a thing when the entire CBD is glowing like a neon pavlova. The 6.5km Light Walk is fully pram-friendly this year, so you can wheel the rugrats around from Circular Quay to Darling Harbour without doing your back in. Highlights for the minis include the ‘Tumbalong Kids’ sessions every Saturday at 5pm—think high-energy tunes and dancing before the serious light-show starts. Plus, there’s a drone show that’ll make them think aliens are finally landing to pick up their messy toys. It’s mostly free, it’s outside, and it’s the best way to tire them out before you treat yourself to a cheeky late-night kebab on the way home. Just remember to pack the puffer jackets because that harbour breeze doesn’t play around in May! Don’t miss the ‘Cristal Palace’ at the Opera House Forecourt—it’s a circus under a giant chandelier that’ll have the kids’ eyes popping out of their heads.
