City of Newcastle is proud to present the 2025 Time to Shine Seniors Festival, a vibrant celebration of our senior community, running from 3-16 March.
With more than 65 events across the city, there’s something for everyone - whether you’re looking for entertainment, information, inspiration, or opportunities to connect.
Opening the festival is the FREE Seniors Festival Expo on Tuesday, 4 March, at McDonald Jones Stadium. From 10am to 1pm, seniors can enjoy light refreshments, live entertainment, and a wealth of information from community organisations dedicated to enhancing their wellbeing.
Festival highlights include a 'shimmering sounds' performance by Army Band Newcastle, engaging author talks at Newcastle Library, a captivating Strings and Pipes performance at Newcastle Museum, shows at Civic Theatre, and Illuminating Stories from the Newcastle Art Gallery collection.
