22 May 2026, Sydney – As laser beams cut through the night sky over Cockle Bay during Vivid Sydney 2026, the spectacle is supported not only by artistic vision but also by the robust floating infrastructure from Walcon Marine Australia. The company’s Pontoon Hire division is delivering critical staging and operational access for the festival’s centrepiece “Laser Lightfall” display, highlighting its expertise in providing water-based infrastructure for major public events.
From Light Shows to Boat Shows: A Single Solution for Diverse Applications
For Vivid Sydney, Walcon’s temporary floating pontoons serve as the secure platform and technical access route for the large-scale “Laser Lightfall” installation. This deployment demonstrates the system’s flexibility for public cultural events.
This capability is well-established. Walcon Marine Australia has been the official marine infrastructure partner for the Sydney International Boat Show for over 20 years, annually building a temporary marina exceeding 5,000 square metres to berth hundreds of vessels and host thousands of visitors. From commercial exhibitions to public festivals, Walcon’s systems serve as a reliable, adaptable “floating chassis” for diverse needs on the water.
Event Details
Vivid Sydney 2026 runs from 22 May to 13 June. The “Laser Lightfall” display on Cockle Bay is a free public event, with performances running four sequences each hour from 6-11pm.
