The Young at Heart Festival, 1- 8 October, is a week of community-led events that celebrates our older community – parents, grandparents, friends and neighbours – who do so much for the city.
The festival wraps around the official International Day of Older Persons on Wednesday, 1 October 2025.
From fitness classes to workshops, the festival includes great events to get involved with, social events to make new friends and opportunities to share skills with the next generation.
Many of the activities offer a free taster just for the festival and are regularly running throughout the year. You never know, you might discover a new activity you absolutely love.
The Young at Heart Festival programme will soon be available to download here, or to pick up from any of our Te Ao Mārama City Libraries.
