Central Coast Council’s Seniors Festival 2026 is set to be a vibrant celebration of our senior community and the invaluable contributions older residents make every day.
The theme for 2026, ‘Live Life in Colour’, reflects the diversity, creativity and energy that seniors bring to the Central Coast. The program features a wide range of free or affordable events designed to inspire connection, wellbeing, learning and fun.
Key festival details:

Seniors can enjoy free health and fitness classes, dancing and entertainment, library programs, educational seminars and workshops, art activities, author talks, discounted show tickets and much more.
Seniors Expo: Thursday 5 March 2026, 10am-1pm, Wyong Race Club
- A highlight of the festival each year, the Seniors Expo is an opportunity for seniors to connect with local services, businesses, groups and organisations, providing valuable information and resources from a range of stallholders.

Council Mayor, Lawrie McKinna said the Seniors Festival is our way of saying thank you and is an important celebration of the positive impact seniors have across our region.
“The Seniors Festival celebrates the incredible contributions of older Central Coast residents, as volunteers, mentors, carers, community leaders, neighbours, parents and grandparents. It invites them to connect, explore new activities, and embrace lifelong learning as they ‘Live Life in Colour’ this March,” Mayor McKinna said.
“I encourage all seniors to get involved and try something new.”
