Offering a diverse range of activities and events for people aged over 50, the 2025 Central Coast Seniors Festival will take place from March 3 to 16 part of the NSW Seniors Festival.
Central Coast Council Director Community and Recreation Services Melanie Smith said the Seniors Festival was a wonderful opportunity for seniors to connect, discover and celebrate.
“The 2025 Seniors Festival, themed Time to Shine, is a celebration of the age, wisdom and experience of our senior community,” Smith said.
“It’s a chance to explore new interests, connect with local services and enjoy a wide variety of engaging activities.
“This year, we’re particularly excited to offer two Seniors Expos, one in Gosford and one in Wyong, based on valuable community feedback.
“This ensures greater accessibility for seniors across the region.
“These expos, along with a comprehensive event calendar, will connect seniors with local groups, organisations, services and activities, promoting engagement and wellbeing, and reflecting Council’s commitment to positive ageing.”
The Seniors Festival Event Calendar, available to download from Council’s website, features 100 events and activities happening at 31 locations across the Central Coast from March 3 to 16, including the Gosford Seniors Festival Expo on March 6 at Gosford Showground and Wyong Seniors Festival Expo on March 14 at Wyong Race Club.
Each expo will run from 10am to 1pm and offer valuable resources on health, financial matters, housing and more, as well as connections to local services and opportunities to celebrate.
Mayor Lawrie McKinna said the Seniors Festival was a vital celebration of the contributions seniors make to the Central Coast community.
“The Seniors Festival is all about celebrating our seniors and their contributions to our community in the workforce, volunteering, as neighbours, friends, parents and grandparents,” McKinna said.
“This year’s theme is Time to shine and we’ve put together a range of activities over 12 days, at multiple locations across the region, for you to enjoy.
“Council is committed to creating opportunities for connection, creativity, inclusion and cultural initiatives and this festival delivers that, in a fun and friendly environment.
“I encourage everyone to explore this year’s exciting program – it’s your Time to shine.”
