Seniors Festival

The annual NSW Seniors Festival celebrates the role and contribution of older adults to local communities throughout Australia.

Penrith City Council, Penrith City Libraries and Ripples Leisure Centre work alongside the Penrith Community Care Forum and other stakeholders to present a program of activities for seniors that promote healthy ageing and acknowledge their value and contribution to our community.
The Penrith Seniors Festival is run in conjunction with the NSW Seniors Festival. In 2025, the festival is being held from Monday 3 to Sunday 16 March 2025 and celebrates the theme "Time to Shine.”

There are a range of free and low-cost events and activities for everyone to enjoy – see the program below for more information.
