The Melton Seniors Festival is back and bigger than ever.

This year’s Melton Seniors Festival will feature close to 50 events – nearly triple the number run in previous years – and while many of the events are free, bookings are essential.

The festival is part of Victorian Seniors Festival and is a celebration of Melton’s senior residents and the vital role they play in our community.

Seniors are invited to start a journey to discover their family history, watch the Yacht Rock Revival Concert, join the Paint a Kingfisher workshop or get involved in multiple Tech and Tea sessions at Melton and Caroline Springs Libraries.

Melton mayor Lara Carli said this year’s festival features an amazing selection of social activities and fun experiences for seniors to enjoy or try their hand at for the first time.

“We want all of Melton’s seniors to come out, have some fun, catch up with old friends – and make some new ones – during a packed month of events that are free or low cost,” she said.

“Melton’s Seniors Festival has something for everybody, with opportunities to get involved, enjoy live entertainment, learn something new or just catch up with old friends.”

The Melton Seniors Festival will run from 1 – 31 October.
