There will be lots of free and heavily discounted events, activities, workshops and performances across Port Stephens and mayor Ryan Palmer said it's all about celebrating the invaluable contribution our seniors make to the Port Stephens community.
"Local businesses and community organisations are hosting over 30 events across our region," he said.
From a swing band performance to a quilt exhibition, there's something for everyone to enjoy at the upcoming Seniors Festival in Port Stephens.

Cr Palmer said there are so many amazing seniors living in Port Stephens who volunteer their time and work hard to give back.
"This is an opportunity for them to get together, celebrate the wisdom and experience that comes with age and meet new people," he said.
"I encourage everyone to get along to as many events as possible and be part of this wonderful two weeks of celebration and connection."
NSW Seniors Festival runs from Monday, March 11 to Sunday, March 24 2024.
