Greater Shepparton City Council invites senior members of the community to get ready for a month full of fun, with social activities taking place across the region in celebration of Seniors Festival 2023.

Starting Sunday October 1 and finishing Tuesday 31 October, the Seniors Festival 2023 will feature over 100 events and activities designed for older residents in Greater Shepparton.

Seniors represent 25 percent of the Greater Shepparton population and are recognised and valued for their wide range of skills and experience. Council is looking forward to celebrating the senior community through leading and partnering on a range of activities.

Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the Seniors Festival is a wonderful opportunity for older members of the community to connect with each other through social activities.
