Whitehorse Seniors Festival 2026 – Expressions of Interest Now Open

In 2025, more than 70 local community hosts delivered over 280 activities, creating a vibrant month of connection, creativity and celebration across Whitehorse. In 2026, we’re inviting local community groups, clubs and organisations to help us do it all again — and make it even bigger.

This is your chance to:

• Showcase what makes your group special
• Welcome new members
• Bring older residents together
• Be part of one of Whitehorse’s most loved annual festivals

From gentle exercise classes and art workshops to guest speakers, music, cultural experiences, bush walks and social gatherings — if your group connects people, builds skills or sparks joy, there’s a place for you in the program.

The festival runs throughout October as part of the statewide Victorian Seniors Festival.

Host an Activity in 2026

Expressions of Interest are now open and close Friday 12 June 2026.
