Seniors Festival
Join us for the 2024 Maroondah Seniors Festival - an event acknowledging the contribution made by older people to our community, celebrating their achievements and promoting positive ageing and wellbeing.
The festival runs in conjunction with the Victorian Seniors Festival and coincides with International Day of Older Persons on 1 October.
The theme for 2024 is Explore, Engage, Evolve.
