More than 100 events across the Mornington Peninsula brought older residents together throughout October as part of this year's Seniors Festival.
From music and dance to arts, exercise, nature experiences and behind-the-scenes tours, the festival offered a wide range of free and low-cost activities across the Peninsula.
A highlight for many was the popular 1960s Dance Party, where participants spent the afternoon singing along to familiar tunes and hitting the dance floor. For many, it was a reminder that staying active doesn't always need to feel like exercise.
The festival invited our senior residents and visitors to the Peninsula to step out of their usual routine and try something new. One attendee, who has been returning to the festival for several years, said she makes a point of choosing a different activity each time.
With opportunities to learn, explore and connect across the month, the festival once again showcased the benefits of getting involved in community life.
The Shire thanks the many community groups, organisations, volunteers and participants who helped make this year's Seniors Festival a roaring success. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year.
