Community members invited to be part of the Seniors Festival 2019

The 2019 Festival is scheduled for February 13-24 with a variety of activities and events that encourage healthy, creative and social lifestyles as well as the Seniors Expo promoting seniors services, businesses and groups in the community.

The NSW Seniors Festival is the largest festival for seniors in the Southern Hemisphere and celebrates the role seniors play and the contributions they make to the community.

Kempsey’s first Seniors Festival in 2018 was a roaring success with more than 18 events in venues across the Macleay.

The wide selection of activities attracted many enthusiastic participants from our senior community.

Citizen of the Year and Ambassador Betty Green said the festival is a great opportunity for local businesses and groups.

“The coming Macleay Seniors Festival in February 2019 is your opportunity to showcase your wears or services with the potential of increasing your business significantly,” she said.

Council is pleased to have Home Instead Senior Care back on board for 2019 as principal sponsor.

Co-owner of Home Instead Senior Care Mid North Coast, Scott Marsh, said supporting events like this in the community is a great way to get involved.

“We are very pleased to be able to support events in the communities we serve and are thrilled to be able to support the Kempsey Seniors Festival again this year. I actively encourage and groups, services and business in the region to get involved in the Festival this year and show support for our Seniors throughout the region,” Mr Marsh said.

Sponsorship packages are now available to interested sponsors, partners and presenters to exhibit at the Seniors Expo and to support the wide array of events on the calendar.
