Penrith will once again celebrate its senior community with its annual Penrith Seniors Festival from Monday 3 to Sunday 16 March 2025.
The Penrith Seniors Festival includes a program of exciting events and activities aimed at residents aged 50 years and over including, crafts, movie screenings, health workshops, exercise classes and more - all free of charge.
Kicking off the festival program will be a mini Seniors Expo, Chair Yoga and the highly anticipated Penrith Seniors Comedy Gala on Monday 3 March at The Joan. The gala line-up will feature the hilarious comedians Andrew Barnett (emcee), Anisa Nandaula, Laura Hughes and Sean Woodland.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said that the Penrith Seniors Festival is one of our City's premier Seniors Week events and a great opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the important contributions seniors make in our community.
"This year's Seniors Festival theme is "Time to Shine" and our festival will offer the chance for attendees to do just that - discover new experiences, build friendships, stay active and connect to our community," Cr Carney said.
"It is a great opportunity for our senior community members to connect with other like-minded individuals, experience something new and learn some different skills."
"I would like to thank our local community organisations who have contributed to the festival but also those who provide regular services to our senior community which assist in the healthy aging journey."
The Penrith Seniors Festival's program of activities and workshops will be held in easy and accessible locations across Penrith. Our local festival also reflects the themes of the NSW State Government's Seniors Festival and aims to address the interests and needs of our Penrith senior residents.
