Wangaratta Seniors Festival 2024

Rural City of Wangaratta, in collaboration with the Victorian State Government, is pleased to launch the Wangaratta Seniors Festival 2024.

In partnership with local businesses and community organisations, we are proud to present 104 events across our region. 

Our program is designed to foster community spirit, promote social connections, and enhance the well-being of seniors, offering inclusive opportunities for participation and enjoyment.

This year’s theme, Explore. Engage. Evolve., encourages older Victorians to embrace curiosity and connections by discovering new interests, meeting fellow community members, and rethinking what it means to age gracefully.
