Cowra Seniors – It’s Your Time To Shine!

The NSW Seniors Festival is coming to Cowra and our seniors are spoilt for choice this year, with a huge program of events and activities on offer.

Themed ‘Time to shine’, the 2025 Seniors Festival in Cowra will run from Monday 03 March to Sunday 16 March 2025, delivering many FREE and discounted activities, workshops, and performances for seniors across the Cowra Shire.

“There are so many ways for seniors to shine and celebrate at the Seniors Festival, with 15 local organisations contributing to this year’s program. It’s these strong community partnerships that allow us to present an exciting fortnight of fun and entertaining events to inspire and engage our seniors,” said Mayor of Cowra, Cr Paul Smith.

The main event for this year’s Festival is the “Our Rock and Roll Journey” free music concert on Wednesday 5 March at Club Cowra, with morning tea included.

This free music concert sees Gold Logie Winner, John Wood team up with vocalist, musician and front man from ‘Rock Around the World’, Dave Allen to showcase vocals, guitars, drums, congas and blues harp for 70 minutes of Rock & Roll.
