Vivid Sydney 2027
I am taking expressions of interest for Vivid Sydney in June 2027
In 2026 this was an excellent trip - the weather was kind and the lights magnificent.
We will be flying out of Hamilton and returning through Hamilton airport.
At this stage I would like to know who would enjoy this experience.
Vivid will take place from Friday 28th May to Saturday 19th June 2027.
We will probably look at Monday 31st May 2027 to depart.
