The Victorian Seniors Festival returns in October 2025 with a fabulous month-long program full of free or low-cost events and activities.
Running from 1–31 October every year, the festival encourages positive ageing and community participation. It’s a great opportunity to get involved in local events, meet new people, and enjoy experiences across the state.
This festival is held for and with older people, with a strong focus on fun, connection, and celebration. The 2025 theme is “Connect, Create, Celebrate”, inviting older Victorians to come together, explore new interests, and enjoy everything the festival has to offer.
To explore the full Victoria Seniors Festival program, visit the Seniors Online Victoria website and browse the Seniors Festival Events Calendar, showcasing thousands of events across the state.
Victorian Seniors Card holders can enjoy eight days of free public transport from Sunday 5 October to Sunday 12 October 2025. This includes travel across all metropolitan services, V/Line trains and coaches, and selected regional bus services outside the myki-enabled area.
The Borough of Queenscliffe is proud to support two fantastic local events as part of the festival. Check out the flyers below for event details and how to register.
