Melton’s older residents are preparing to take centre stage, with the annual Senior’s Festival set to take over next month.
The festival runs from October 3 to 31, and will involve a number of prominent events to celebrate the role of seniors within the community.
There will be engaging presentations on aged care, Australian history, and birds and wildlife, as well as a number of other educational activities and entertainment.
If you enjoy music and feel like dancing, there’s a Crooners Concert in Burnside, a Beatles Concert in Melton and other musical performances at Melton and Caroline Springs libraries.
A special screening of the new Judy Garland movie, Judy – beyond the rainbow will be the final event for the festival.
Guests are invited to get dressed up for the old- Hollywood glamour theme and have their photo taken with Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
