Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for the 2024 Baw Baw Senior's Festival Guide. Senior's Month occurs annually in October across the nation and celebrates getting older while creating opportunities for older people to meet and make new connections. The Victorian Senior's Festival theme for 2024 is 'Explore. Engage. Evolve.' It encourages older Victorians to stay curious and connected by exploring new activities, meeting new people, and changing how we think of ageing.

Baw Baw Shire invites local groups to submit events for the Senior's Festival Guide, showcasing activities for those over 60 in October statewide

Submit Senior's Festival EOI

Baw Baw Shire Council is inviting local businesses, community groups and organisations to submit an EOI to have their events, activities or programs featured in the local Victorian Senior's Festival Guide that will showcase everything there is to do throughout Senior's Month in Baw Baw. Listings can include one off events or ongoing programs available to people over the age of 60. The Victorian Senior's Festival will be celebrated from 1 - 31 October, right across the state.

Baw Baw Shire Mayor Cr Annemarie McCabe said the Victorian Senior's Festival was a wonderful initiative and she looked forward to seeing many local groups get involved again in 2024. "The Victorian Senior's Festival provides easy, low-cost or free activities and events for people over the aged of 60 and promotes enhanced mental wellbeing by showcasing a variety of events and programs available for people to get involved in."

"Following retirement or once reaching a certain age, it can be easy to become isolated, which is why the Victorian Seniors Festival is such a great opportunity, as it gives people a chance to meet others while also trying their hand at something they've never done before, or getting out to see or take part in something that used to bring them lots of joy," Cr McCabe said. To submit an EOI to have your event, activity, or program included in the guide and reach a broader audience during the Victorian Seniors Festival please email healthy.bawbaw@bawbawshire.vic.gov.au by 31 July.
