2024 Bayside Healthy Ageing Seniors Festival

A festival to Explore. Engage. Evolve. 

The Bayside Healthy Ageing Seniors Festival is now live, featuring a program of free and low cost events for Bayside’s older residents. This year marks our 21st anniversary of bringing exciting events to our community and we’re thrilled to be offering some lively celebration surprises.

This year’s theme, ‘Explore. Engage. Evolve.’, encourages you to stay curious and open to new experiences. On offer will be a variety of live performances, comedy, open days, exercise, food, art, dancing and more. So why not discover exciting activities, connect with new people, and broaden your horizons this October?

We hope you enjoy some of the great events and activities on offer during the month-long Bayside Healthy Ageing Seniors Festival. You can return to this web page for festival updates. Alternatively, contact the Healthy Ageing team on 9599 4373 or healthyageing@bayside.vic.gov.au.
