The festival, which officially runs across NSW from February 12-23, aims to provide opportunities for people over 60 to remain active, healthy and engaged in their local communities. Some of the local activities, however, may motivate those who don't meet the criteria to up their age.
Here in Tenterfield Seniors Festival runs from Monday, February 17 to Friday, February 21, with something on offer each day.
The official opening of the Art of Ageing Exhibition kicks off the week, in the foyer of the Tenterfield School of Arts. The exhibition features photographic portraits of local seniors, celebrating our difference, our experience and our uniqueness keeping in mind this year's theme Love to celebrate.
Come along between 10am and noon to check out the exhibition, and to enjoy a Devonshire tea provided by the CWA. This is a free event.
It's back to the School of Arts on Tuesday, February 18 for a lunch and musical experience in the Banquet Hall.
