One of Sydney's major tourism drawcards, the Vivid Sydney festival, has been rescheduled.
The NSW Government says Vivid Sydney will now be held from September 17 to October 9 in the interest of community health and safety.
No surprise really.
The 12th edition of the light, music and ideas festival has originally been scheduled for August 6-28.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said NSW must work together to contain the current Covid-19 outbreak to allow the state to recover.
“We all want to see Sydney shine through the spectacular show of creativity and innovation that is Vivid Sydney in September and October this year,” Ayres said.
“The recent outbreak has presented a new challenge for everyone, and the health and safety of our citizens and entire event community involved in Vivid Sydney is our foremost concern.
“Destination NSW will continue to work with NSW Health and other agencies to deliver a Covid-safe Vivid Sydney later this year, with support from our event partners, artists, sponsors, and suppliers.
“Vivid Sydney will only proceed if it's safe to do so.”
Full details of the revised Vivid Sydney 2021 program will be available online in the coming weeks as venues and event owners finalise logistics.
Ticketholders will be able to transfer their ticket to the new event date or request a refund via the relevant ticket agent.
