Other lightshows such as the Lightscape at the Royal Botanic Gardens will be ticketed.
Vivid sparked outrage last year after families were charged $128 to visit one lightshow.
When will the lights be turned on and where are the best places to see the displays?
The light displays will be switched on at 6pm each night and will be turned off at 11pm.
Visitors can access the best vantage points to view the artworks at Darling Harbour, The Rocks and at the Opera House.
