Hume’s senior residents will be taking centre stage throughout October as part of the annual Hume Seniors Festival.
The festival coincides with Seniors Month, which encourages older residents to celebrate active ageing with a range of social experiences across the municipality.
The activities start with events at Hume’s three leisure centres, including zumba, carpet bowls and chair dancing, until October 12.
The Hume Seniors Festival Big Day Out will be held on October 26 at the Lynda Blundell Centre in Dallas from 10.30am-2pm.
The annual event is a chance for seniors to have some fun, meet new people and find out about the services offered by Hume council.
The event will feature dancing, craft, bocce and leisure activities.
The festival will conclude with a morning tea at Newbury Child and Community Centre in Craigieburn on October 30, 10.30am-12.30pm, featuring a performance by the Victoria Police pipe band.
