Mark your calendars — October is a month of celebration, connection and community as the City of Casey presents the 2025 Ageing Positively Festival, held in conjunction with the Victorian Seniors Festival.
This year’s theme — Connect. Create. Celebrate — beautifully reflects the vibrant spirit of our older residents and the invaluable contributions they make to the City of Casey.
Throughout October, we invite everyone aged 50 and over — as well as carers and younger people supporting older family members or friends — to join us in honouring the wisdom, experience and diversity of our senior community.
Held in multiple venues across the City of Casey, you’ll find a rich program of 65 free or low-cost events designed to inspire, inform and entertain. City of Casey Mayor Cr Stefan Koomen and Cr Kim Ross recently visited the Narre Warren Senior Citizens Centre, the location of the 'Entertainment with Marcia Rae' event on 15 October.
Hosted by the Narre Warren Senior Citizens Group, the event will be a lively afternoon of music, dancing, and good company! Marcia Rae will perform your favourite country and western hits, accompanied by a light lunch and plenty of fun.
Cr Koomen says “Let’s come together this October to connect, create and celebrate the incredible people who continue to shape our community with their wisdom, warmth and resilience.”
“I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the many community groups, volunteers, neighbourhood houses, community centres and senior support organisations who work tirelessly to support active and healthy ageing in our city. And a special shoutout to the Festival event hosts, including our community facilities, seniors groups and other local organisations, whose generosity and enthusiasm help make this celebration truly special.”
