Have you been itching to go to Sydney, Australia? Well, now is probably a fantastic time. Vivid Sydney—an annual festival of lights, music, and ideas—is underway until June 17.

Featuring a gallery of lighting sculptures, contemporary music program and the illumination of the Sydney Opera House sails, among other things, the award-winning winter festival is one of the largest of its kind in the world.

The light shows are between 6-11 p.m. every night, and the event will run in the case of rain.

You can even climb to the top of the Sydney Harbor Bridge and dance under the stars (and the lights) on the illuminated ’70s style multi-colored flashing dance floor.
