Wangaratta Seniors Festival is underway for the month of October, with a record-breaking 171 free and affordable events and activities on offer.
The Rural City of Wangaratta delivers the festival in collaboration with the Victorian government, local businesses and community organisations.
This year's theme, Connect, Create and Celebrate, invites seniors to discover new interests, connect with fellow community members and redefine what it means to age.
From the comfort of home or in the heart of town, there’s something for everyone: stay active with chair cardio and strength classes, offering gentle online workouts designed to boost wellbeing, or join the sit, knit and crochet sessions at the Wangaratta Library for a warm space to craft and connect.
The social art group provides a relaxed setting to create and share stories over tea and biscuits, while the Keenagers table tennis luncheon celebrates multicultural friendship through sport and food.
