Fort Denison Dinner DeLights

Overview

Been scheming about taking Vivid Sydney to the next level this year? If you've got some cash stashed away for the festival, swap out the crowds at Circular Quay for front-row views of the illuminated Harbour Bridge, a water taxi and dinner literally in the middle of Sydney Harbour.

Yep, we're talking Fort Denison. This year, the island outpost is inviting you to join its Vivid celebrations. Dubbed Dinner De-Lights, the evening starts with you wandering around Circular Quay, before jumping in a specially chartered water taxi for a giddy, wind-in-your-hair-lights-in-your-eyes ride to the island. Along the way, check out Vivid's famous boat parade up close.

Once you're there, you'll take a mini tour of the Martello Tower before settling into your seat for dinner, which will afford epic views of the lighting of the Opera House's sails (which will this year feature work by artist Ash Bollard) as well as the Harbour Bridge.

Dinner De-Lights is happening every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night throughout the festival. Bookings cost $118 per person, which includes a two-course dinner, the tour and the water taxi ride there and back.
