THE Seniors Festival will run throughout October, and Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking expressions of interest from local organisations, groups and businesses interested in hosting an activity or event.
The festival offers older residents, a wide variety of free and low-cost activities under the theme ‘Connect. Create. Celebrate’.
Council is inviting groups to contribute to the festival program by hosting activities such as ‘come and try’ sessions, craft workshops, open days, gardening, exercise classes, music, entertainment, or anything that encourages participation and that senior residents may enjoy. Successful submissions will be featured in the official Seniors Festival Brochure and promoted through Council’s website and social media channels.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the festival provides an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the value of older residents and encouraged local clubs, groups and organisations to get involved.
“Senior residents are at the heart of our community and their contribution is something we should all acknowledge and celebrate,” he said.
If you think your organisation could host a great event for seniors, please fill-in the expression of interest application form on Council’s website shaping.greatershepparton.com.au/greater- shepparton-seniors-festival-2025
Expressions of Interest close at 11.59pm on 1 September 2025. For more information contact Council’s Access & Positive Ageing Officer on (03) 5832 9700.
