River Cruise GIVEAWAY & Wrapping Up a Fantastic Victorian Seniors Festival 🎉


Hello Reader,

It’s hard to believe the Victorian Seniors Festival is coming to a close! What a month it’s been – full of exciting events, wonderful performances, and opportunities to connect with friends old and new. Whether you explored Melbourne, joined in some ballroom dancing, or simply enjoyed the free public transport period, we hope it’s been as memorable for you as it has been for us.

While the festival may be wrapping up, there are always plenty of ways to stay connected and active throughout the year – that's where we come in! We’ll keep sharing tips and ideas on seniorsinemelbourne.com.au to help you make the most of living or exploring in and around Melbourne.

Thank you for being part of the fun, and for celebrating what it means to be part of our vibrant community.

Warm regards,
Amy
