Kingston's older residents are invited to connect, create and celebrate this October as part of the annual Kingston Seniors Festival.
More than 140 free and low-cost events will be on offer across the city, from fitness classes and author talks to live music, nature walks, craft, games, fashion, movies and dancing.
Mayor Cr Georgina Oxley encouraged the community to get involved.
"Our older residents are the heart of Kingston — they help shape our neighbourhoods, share their knowledge and stories, and bring warmth, strength and wisdom to our community," Cr Oxley said.
"The Seniors Festival is a chance to recognise and celebrate those contributions, while encouraging all older people to stay active and engaged.
"Most importantly, it's about connection. Reaching out, meeting others, and being part of a shared experience can do wonders for your health and wellbeing. Building social connections supports both mind and body — helping us live longer, feel better, and stay involved in the community we love."
The Festival is part of the statewide Victorian Seniors Festival, which runs throughout October, with a theme of Connect, Create, Celebrate.
Printed programs are available now from Council's Customer Service Centre, Kingston Libraries, community centres, and selected Coles and Woolworths supermarkets.
