Victoria’s largest seniors’ festival is returning from 1–31 October 2024, with thousands of opportunities for older Victorians to take part in free and low-cost entertainment and events across the state.
Over 2,000 events celebrating older Victorians will be delivered by the Victorian Government, all 79 local councils, community and cultural organisations, and commercial partners.
Major events will include Celebration Day at Fed Square, the Melbourne Town Hall Dance, the Aged Care Tour and the Country Concerts.
The theme this year is – ‘Explore. Engage. Evolve.’ – encouraging older Victorians to stay curious and connected by exploring new activities, meeting new people, and changing how we think of ageing.
