Driving with Uber during Vivid Sydney

Vivid Sydney kicks off Friday 24 May, igniting the city with 23 days of awe-inspiring light, music, and ideas. This annual festival brings together some of the world’s best displays of art, technology and commerce and it’s an incredible time to get out and about in the city.

With over 2 million people expected to attend the festival, we’re expecting a lot more riders will be requesting trips to and from the city centre before the festival ends on 15 June, so it’s a great opportunity to be out on the road earning with the Uber app.

Riders will likely be heading to and from these festival hotspots starting at 6pm:
