The Victorian Seniors Festival is back for its 40th year to celebrate older Victorians and their invaluable contributions to communities.
The 2022 Seniors Festival will run from 2-9 October across the state with a range of events including concerts, dances, sport, the arts, history talks and tours.
The theme ‘Takin’ it easy’ focuses on presenting accessible and comfortable spaces both live and online.
Victoria is home to more than 1.5 million older Victorians and this year 79 local councils, businesses and community and cultural organisations will help deliver activities in every corner of the state
To ensure older Victorians can make the most of the festival, Victorian Seniors Card holders can access free travel on public transport services from 2 to 9 October – including on V/Line. For V/Line trips that require a reservation, bookings open on Tuesday 6 September at seniorsonline.vic.gov.au/free-travel
Keep an eye on the Star Weekly website and printed edition for events in your municipality.
Information programs can be found at Coles stores, local councils, libraries and community organisations, or the online calendar at seniorsonline vic.gov.au/festival
