Celebrating seniors across Brimbank, the Victorian Seniors Festival returns for the whole month of October with a full program of entertainment and events.

Programs and activities for the festival are being held all across Brimbank, designed to keep seniors active, entertained, and informed.

There are more than 40 free or low cost programs and activities you can join if you are 60 or older.

This year the festival’s theme, ‘Explore. Engage. Evolve’, encourages seniors to stay curious and connected.

You can try out a new sport or show off your existing experience.

The popular seniors golf day at Keilor Golf Course is back. Hear from footy legends Kevin Sheedy and David Schwartz at a Footy Legends Lunch or come and celebrate the incredible life and music of the Forces Sweetheart in Sincerely Yours, Dame Vera Lynn Tribute Show at the Bowery Theatre.

Explore the full range of programs and activities at brimbank.vic.gov.au/seniorsfestival2024 or you can pick up a hard copy guide on or after 1 October at your local council venue, library, neighbourhood house or community centre.

Make sure you book, so you don’t miss out!

Victorian Seniors Card holders receive a full week of free public transport from October 6 to October 13 to help get around to activities.

The Victorian Seniors Festival is supported by all 79 local councils across the state, as well as community groups and organisations.
