THE Casey 2006 Victorian Seniors Festival will be held in early October next year, along with the Ageing Positively in Casey Festival.
The usual March date for the seniors festival has been re-scheduled because of the cultural festival planned for the Commonwealth Games, Festival Melbourne 2006.
Casey director community services Jennie Lee said the new dates for the seniors festival were from -8 October, which coincided with the United Nations International Day of the Older Person on Sunday, 1 October.
“The ageing positively festival will beheld from 1 to Sunday 15 October to complement the statewide celebrations being planned for older people.
“The change of dates will enable seniors to enjoy not only their festival in October 2006, but also the festivities surrounding the Melbourne Commonwealth Games.”
