East Gippsland Shire Council is proud to present the 2026 Seniors Festival, with a month of free and low-cost events across the shire throughout October.
Under the theme “Connect, create, celebrate,” the region will come alive with creative workshops, art exhibitions, live performances, health and wellbeing activities, come-and-try days, morning teas, dinners and luncheons.
Whether revisiting a lifelong passion, trying something new for the first time, or simply looking to meet new people, the festival is designed to spark joy, build connections and support healthy and positive ageing, the council says.
The 2026 East Gippsland Seniors Festival Event Guide is now available to download, with hardcopies to be available from service centres and libraries soon.
As part of the festival, a special morning of music and community connection will feature Wendy Stapleton performing the hits of the Swinging Sixties, bringing a morning of nostalgia and toe-tapping favourites for everyone to enjoy.
The concert will be held on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at the Riviera Christian Centre in Bairnsdale, with morning tea from 10am and the concert from 11am. Entry is free.
Bookings can be made via the Humanitix events page or by calling the Box Office.
Everyone is welcome to attend.
