Community Activities for the Seniors and Their Families in Vermont
The Vermont area offers a variety of community activities for families to enjoy all year round. From seniors to children, there’s something for everyone. As the saying goes, "the family that plays together stays together." Each season brings new opportunities to stay active and connected.
At Vermont Aged Care, we ensure our residents stay engaged by participating in local community events. Here are some wonderful activities in our area to enjoy with your loved ones.
Nunawading Market – Craft and Produce
Held at the Whitehorse Civic Centre on the fourth Sunday of each month from 9 AM to 2 PM, the Nunawading Market is a vibrant community gathering. With the motto “Make it, Bake it, Grow it,” the market offers a variety of locally crafted and homegrown goods, from fresh produce and homemade foods to plants, gifts, and clothing.
Managed by the not-for-profit organisation Arts Nunawading, the market supports local cultural, performing, and visual arts groups. Proceeds help fund initiatives like the Dick Lack Memorial Scholarship for young artists and support the Whitehorse Centre.
For details on stallholders and what’s on offer, visit the Nunawading Market website.
