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.
Victorian Senior of the Year Awards
The Festival also includes the annual Victorian Senior of the Year Awards. These awards acknowledge older Victorians who volunteer to assist, support and encourage others. It is an opportunity to celebrate and recognise their contributions to the community. For more information visit the Awards page.
