The Nationals’ Member for Ovens Valley, Tim McCurdy, is encouraging locals to get involved in this year’s 43rd Victorian Seniors Festival, running throughout October 2025.
The annual festival celebrates the invaluable contribution older Victorians make to our communities, offering a month of free and low-cost events that promote connection, activity, and positive ageing.
Mr McCurdy said the festival is a wonderful opportunity for older residents to stay social and try something new.
“Seniors Festival is about celebrating the incredible role older Victorians play in shaping our communities,” he said.
“From fitness sessions to musical performances and community lunches, there’s something for everyone, it’s a great way to stay active and connected.”
Across the Ovens Valley, locals can enjoy a Free Reformer Pilates class with Pilates 24/7 in Wangaratta, Lifeball social games, and a Cumberoona Lunch Cruise on Lake Mulwala departing from Yarrawonga.
The Alpine Shire is also hosting a variety of events including Walking Football, comedy with Daryl Peebles, and guided strolls along Myrtleford’s Mosaic Trail.
Seniors' Card holders can take advantage of free public transport from 5 to 12 October, making it even easier to explore events across the region.
“Our seniors have given so much to our communities, this is our chance to give back, celebrate their contributions and ensure they feel valued,” Mr McCurdy said.
