The City of Wagga Wagga Seniors Festival is a 10-day long celebration, recognising
the valuable contribution older people have made and continue to make to our
community.
Council is proud to fund and support the Wagga Wagga Seniors Festival 2016. Many
organisations come together to deliver a diverse range of events and opportunities to
inspire seniors to try something new and to recognise the contributions that seniors
make to our city.
On behalf of Council, I’d like to congratulate the Wagga Wagga Seniors Week
Committee, event organisers and volunteers for presenting this wonderful festival.
The festival is a great opportunity for older people to get out and about, meet people,
try new activities and have fun.
I encourage all seniors to get involved. Enjoy the festivities!
