Various events will be held across the Gannawarra this October to mark the 2024 Victorian Seniors Festival.

Now in its 42nd year, the 2024 festival’s theme is ‘Explore. Engage. Evolve.’ – encouraging older Victorians to stay curious and connected by exploring new activities, meeting new people, and changing how we think of ageing.

“Our senior residents have contributed to making the Gannawarra the great place it is now, and the Victorian Seniors Festival is a great way to celebrate this,” Gannawarra Shire Council Chief Executive Officer, Geoff Rollinson said.

“Council is proud to again be hosting numerous free events during the festival that will occur in communities across the Gannawarra.”
