With spring finally here, it's time to shake off the winter chill, get more sun on our faces, and look forward to a week full of fun, free activities with Spring Fest.
Spring Fest is a community-led week of events celebrating the International Day of Older Persons, on from October 1-7, 2023.
Whether you'd like to give it a go with a new sport, meet new people at social get-togethers, get crafty and creative, or learn a new skill, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
And it's not just a one-off week of celebration. Spring Fest highlights all the ways community groups across Tauranga already work to support the wellbeing of our older community, so you can try things out, find out more, and continue the fun year-round.
Kicking off the celebration will be the flagship event – Step into Spring Fest – packed with performances, guest speakers, activities, and opportunities to learn more about what's on throughout the week. Make sure to come along on Sunday, October 1, from 11am-2pm, to the Queen Elizabeth Youth Centre.
