Seniors in Brimbank can enjoy a variety of activities and performances next month as the Victorian Seniors Festival returns for its 43rd year.
Brimbank council said this year’s theme ‘connect, create, celebrate’ is all about strengthening community ties, exploring new opportunities, and recognising the valuable contributions of seniors.
Across Brimbank, the program offers something for everyone – from sport and leisure to theatre, music, food and fun.
Festival highlights include Be Active Brimbank: A come-and-try sports day on October 1 and a Golf Day on October 2.
For those who enjoy theatre, ‘Playing Second Fiddle, Major Song, Minor Character’ will be performed by Victoria Mantynen on October 4 and community favourite Bocce, Blokes and Burgers returns on October 30.
Council said the Brimbank Seniors team has expanded the way information is shared to ensure no one misses out on what’s on offer as part of the festival.
Slips highlighting festival events will be included in the rates notices that go out to households, according to council.
Council has also organised booking assistance sessions which will be held at the Sunshine and Sydenham libraries on September 15, from 11.30 to 12.30pm, to support participants through the booking process.
Those who cannot attend the sessions can contact council’s customer service for assistance.
