Seniors Month
Queensland Seniors Month is celebrated from 1 to 31 October each year.
Seniors Month is about celebrating the valuable contributions that seniors make to our city as well as encouraging community connections and participation.
During the month-long celebration there are opportunities for everyone to connect through free or low-cost activities offered across the city.
It’s the perfect time to enjoy what the Gold Coast has to offer, meet people and try something new.
