Explore Councils by state
All through October, we celebrated the Victorian Seniors Festival in Boroondara. Over 1,000 people participated in Council’s six major free events this year, as well as many more at the 60+ events hosted by local community groups.
Attendees enjoyed having access to more events in their local area, with this year’s festival taking place at venues across the municipality.
They also appreciated the diverse programming which offered opportunities to get involved in new and exciting activities. From an exquisite performance of the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra’s string quartet, to watching film, learning about gardening, cooking demonstrations and ballroom dancing, there was something for everyone to enjoy.
Festivalgoers shared their thoughts about this year’s events by completing a short survey - and some of the feedback was fantastic:
“Everything was perfect, thank you to the organisers.” “Such a great atmosphere for everyone.” “Staff were very kind and professional; just a beautiful day.” “Excellent presentations from the knowledgeable speakers.”
