One of the biggest social events on the calendar for Townsville seniors is back in 2024, with the Seniors Luncheon just around the corner.
Mayor Troy Thompson said the popular free event was open to Townsville residents aged 65 and over and would see them enjoy a catered sit-down lunch and live entertainment from Townsville's finest local talent.
"For many Townsville residents, this annual Council initiative is the biggest social event on the calendar, and it is a a great way for the city to pay tribute to the senior community," Cr Thompson said.
"This year we want to see those attending dress up in their freshest florals and summer attire as we enjoy the beauty of nature together with a garden party theme.
"Our city is home to so many wonderful seniors who have contributed great things for our community, so Council's annual luncheon is one way we can thank them for their outstanding contributions.
"There's always a great free lunch and a lineup of some of Townsville's best live entertainment, however registrations to this popular free event fill quickly, so it's crucial people get in quick.
"Council even offers luncheon attendees free transport from their residences through service providers TransitCare, Comlink and Townsville Taxis, however this must be arranged at the time of booking a ticket to the luncheon through the TicketShop."
