Young at Heart Festival

Wise by nature.

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 art exhibitions, the festival includes great events to get involved with, social events to make new friends and funky fitness to make you feel good.
  
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.
  
Soon the Young at Heart Festival programme will soon be available download or pick up from any of our Te Ao Mārama City Libraries.
