Council celebrates seniors

The sweet sounds of the ’60s and ’70s will fill the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall for a morning of dancing and music next month.

Hosted as part of this year’s Victorian Seniors Festival, Moorabool will host the free Moorabool Country Concert on Thursday, October 9, aiming to unite the community for a morning of dancing and music.

The Victorian Seniors Festival runs throughout October and is aimed at recognising and celebrating the valuable contributions older people make to our communities, while providing opportunities to connect, try something new, and enjoy a wide range of events and activities.

This year, the Moorabool Seniors Festival is set to participate for first time in the Country Concert Tour – part of the Victorian Seniors Festival’s flagship program.

The event will feature a high-energy live performance from four-piece act the Stiletto Groove.

As part of this year’s festivities, a free expo on October 3 will aim to showcase local services, community groups and advocacy organisations.

Moorabool mayor Paul Tatchell said this year’s event will be a great opportunity for the community to come together.

“With hands-on demonstrations, a photo booth, BBQ lunch and sweet treats from the ice cream truck, it’s a fantastic opportunity to connect, discover and celebrate community life in Moorabool,” Cr Tatchell said.

“Together, the free Country Concert and Seniors Expo headline a jam-packed 2025 program, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy during this year’s Seniors Festival,” he said.

The expo will be held on from 11am–1pm on Friday, October 3, at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall, and the concert will run from 11am on Thursday, October 9.

Bookings for the concert are essential, and the full Moorabool Seniors Festival program guide is available to view online.
