The 2025 Seniors Festival Expo to deliver a huge range of exciting activities

Wednesday, 19 February 2025

Seniors are encouraged to join the fun at this year’s NSW Seniors Festival Expo with more than 100 activities and stalls offering advice, tips, entertainment, and deals.

It’s the perfect event for seniors to engage with businesses, community groups, and the NSW and Federal Governments and associations to remain active in the community and access information services that promote healthy ageing.

More than 100 exhibitors will feature at the Expo, which features:

  • a tech zone for tips and tricks on using computers and staying scam savvy
  • a live stage with talks from exhibitors and performances, including the NSW Police Band
  • live cooking demonstrations in the Lite n’ Easy kitchen with celebrity chef Dominic Rizzo and senior dietitian Ashleigh Jones
  • a sports zone to try out a range of sports and physical activities
  • a workshop where the Australian Men’s Shed Association will demonstrate how to build a cubby house
  • A community connections zone featuring a range of local community organisations providing services to seniors

The annual flagship is the NSW Government’s way of saying thank you to NSW seniors for their valuable contributions to society.

The event will be held over two days at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC) in Hall 4 on:

  • Wednesday 12 March from 9:00am - 5:00pm and,
  • Thursday 13 March from 9:00am - 3:00pm.

Also taking place across the same two days are The Premier’s Gala Concerts – four free concerts featuring some of Australia’s best talent for senior audiences to attend.

These events are part of the NSW Government’s commitment to provide opportunities for seniors to participate in, contribute to, and be included in their communities, all of which falls under the Ageing Well NSW: Seniors Strategy vision.
