OCTOBER is the month to celebrate the incalculable contribution made by our senior citizens to our great community.
Celebrating 40 years, the annual Victorian Senior Citizens Festival will run over 2,000 events and activities across the state and is aimed at getting older Victorians out and about in their local community.
In avid support of the region’s senior citizens, Greater Shepparton City Council will host over 25 activities and events locally, and will encourage participants to get up and moving, invigorating their creative flair while providing an opportunity to meet likeminded people.
Event highlights include a River Heritage Walk and Talk, a country music performance by icon Tania Kernaghan and (who can go past), tea and scones in the park.
Encouraging our senior citizens to get involved, Mayor Cr Shane Sali said,
“Council is proud to support the Victorian Seniors Festival and is thrilled this years’ activities will allow for the community to come together in person after the impact of COVID-19. The festival not only provides great entertainment, but also encourages our Greater Shepparton seniors to live healthy and active lifestyles, and to get involved and engaged in our community.”
Further event details are available online at greatershepparton.com.au, Council’s Welsford St offices and from local community hubs and agencies.
