Ballarat Seniors Festival

City of Ballarat was part of the Victorian Seniors Festival again this year. The theme for the 2025 Victorian Seniors Festival was 'Connect. Create. Celebrate.' inviting older Victorians to come together, discover new interests and celebrate in their community.

Ballarat's Seniors Festival is about providing fun and good times with opportunities to participate in a variety of events and activities throughout October each year. The festival celebrates the important and diverse contributions of older residents in Ballarat and encourages community participation. During our 2025 Festival, highlights included the Victorian Seniors Festival Country Concert, #TheBiscuitTin launch, Intergenerational Invermay Community Day and Ballarat Seniors Festival Community Expo.
