It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this years Seniors Festival in Benalla Rural City, as we join communities across the state in celebrating the 2025 Victorian Seniors Festival this October.
This year’s theme, Connect, Create, Celebrate, honours the contributions and wisdom of older residents and encourages lifelong learning.
The festival creates opportunities for Victorians who are 60 years and over to participate in fun, free and low-cost events throughout October.
Thank you to the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing, our local community groups, volunteers, and businesses for supporting this year’s festival.
