Getting There

Explore. Engage. Evolve.

Come join Victorian Seniors Festival for a great celebration of older Victorians, their friends, allies and families. All are welcome and encouraged to enjoy and engage in wonderful performances.

On Celebration Day, the entire precinct of Fed Square comes to life with music, dance and workshops performed by mainly older artists sharing their passion and talents across the Main Square, Riverside Stage and The Edge.

The River Terrace will be abuzz with marquees hosted by a range of Festival sponsors, partners and organisations, who all support older Victorians to live their best lives.

A special feature this year will be a mass ukulele workshop and performance of two iconic hits in the Main Square. This performance will feature older Victorians from across the state. With trains and trams right beside Fed Square, free public transport for Victorian Seniors Card holders is the best way to get there and join in the Festival fun.
