Victorian Seniors Festival – DFFH Celebration Day video
Andrew Gill, Celebration Day MC: Connect, create, celebrate with Victorian Seniors Festival 2025. We're loving being here at Celebration Day in the heart of Melbourne.
Event attendee: I think it's very vibrant and everybody seems to be so lively and happy to join the festival here.
Event attendee: From north-east Victoria, so we came down from Wangaratta this morning. Isn't it lovely? Everybody's having fun and enjoying themselves so, yeah, great!
Argiri Alisandratos, Deputy Secretary, Disability, Fairness and Emergency Management: Getting everyone together on this momentous day as a kick-off to a whole month of events is fantastic. Seeing the wonderful colour and movement of all of our seniors is just magnificent - just to have them in here to really enjoy the spectacle of what it is today, is unbelievable. So, great to be here with all of them.
Event attendee: I feel so proud to be part of this because there are many people who are not given this opportunity in many countries.
Ben Rogers, CEO, Council on the Ageing Victoria: Really, really excited to make sure we celebrate the achievements and the contributions of older Victorians all this month.
Argiri Alisandratos, Deputy Secretary, Disability, Fairness and Emergency Management: We've got to make sure that people understand the value that our senior Victorians bring to the state and bring to our community.
