Vivid Sydney will run from May 23 to June 14 and will feature a host of free and ticketed events across town.

The appearance of Stewart is the first big stand-alone announcement of this year’s festival calendar, and follows previous In Conversation events with the likes of Mike White and Jennifer Coolidge, Amy Poehler, Baz Luhrmann, Troye Sivan and Spike Lee.

“Vivid Sydney is unrivalled in its ability to offer exclusive, unmissable, and one-of-a-kind events to visitors,” festival director Gill Minervini said.

“It’s incredibly exciting to welcome one of the most revered and fascinating minds to Sydney.

“We could not think of a better figure that encapsulates this year’s theme of Dream more than Martha Stewart.”

NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said: “Martha Stewart is a powerhouse of innovation and entrepreneurship, and her inclusion in Vivid Sydney 2025 reaffirms the festival’s ability to bring the world’s boldest characters to our Harbour City.

“With an array of experiences across Light, Music, Ideas and Food waiting to be discovered, we encourage every visitor to immerse themselves in all this year’s festival has to offer.”
