Victorian Seniors Festival October 2018

The festival is organised by the Victorian Department of Health & Human Services to encourage seniors to get out there and participate in and enjoy a wide range of more than 1,300 activities, all generally free or low-cost.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Community Kaye Thomson said “I encourage everyone to show off their younger side and dance to some of the great tunes of yesteryear, take part in many activities and participate in various workshops held during the festival, or why not catch one of the classic films. You can enjoy a multitude of interactive activities; such as dancing, aerobics, strength training and tai chi.”

The events include concerts, dances, theatre shows, celebratory morning teas, tours, a host of indoor and outdoor recreation activities and much more.

The Greater Shepparton City Council is committed to our older residents and aims to promote the wellbeing of the older community in line with the Greater Shepparton Positive Ageing Action Plan.
