Last chance to get involved in the 2025 Greater Shepparton Seniors Festival
Posted on
Thursday 21st of August, 2025,
Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking expressions of interest from local organisations, groups and businesses interested in hosting an activity or event for this year’s Seniors Festival.
The Seniors Festival will run throughout October, offering older residents a wide variety of free and low-cost activities under the theme ‘Connect. Create. Celebrate’.
Council would like to hear from local organisations, groups and businesses who are planning on hosting an event or activity for older members in the community and would like to showcase their event as part of the local festival brochure and promotions.
Council is inviting groups to contribute to the festival program by hosting activities such as ‘come and try’ sessions, craft workshops, open days, gardening, exercise classes, music, entertainment, or anything that encourages participation and that senior residents may enjoy. Successful submissions will be featured in the official Seniors Festival Brochure and promoted through Council’s website and social media channels.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said the festival provides an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the value of older residents and encouraged local clubs, groups and organisations to get involved.
“Senior residents are at the heart of our community and their contribution is something we should all acknowledge and celebrate,” he said.
“The Seniors Festival gives older people the chance to connect with others, explore new activities and enjoy everything Greater Shepparton has to offer. By hosting an event, local groups and organisations can help create memorable experiences that bring people together and highlight the importance of staying active, creative and socially connected.”
If you think your organisation could host a great event for seniors, please fill-in the expression of interest application form on Council’s Shaping Greater Shepp website.
Expressions of Interest close at 11.59pm on 1 September 2025. For more information contact Council’s Access & Positive Ageing Officer on (03) 5832 9700.
