NSW Seniors Week – 3 to 12 March 2017
Local seniors across NSW are being encouraged to enjoy new experiences, continue learning, impart their skills, and have fun in the lead up to the 2017 NSW Seniors Festival.
With the theme ‘Let’s do more together’, the festival promotes inclusive communities and provides an opportunity for seniors to try new things, contribute, and remain active and engage in their local communities.
The NSW Seniors Festival is the largest festival for people over 60 in the Southern Hemisphere, attracting up to 500,000 seniors across the state to events and online.
Formerly NSW Seniors Week, the NSW Seniors Festival has continued to grow each year since it began 59 years ago. It continues to set the benchmark as the biggest event program for seniors in the southern hemisphere.
In 2017 the festival will run for 10-days from Friday 3 March to Sunday 12 March across NSW. During this annual festival there are hundreds of FREE and discounted events around NSW to inspire seniors to eat well, stay active and connect with their local community.
This NSW Seniors Festival, seniors will be inspired to try new things, socialise, share skills and keep doing the things they enjoy, together!
