Celebrate life and curiosity this October at the Knox Seniors Festival.
Are you 55 or older? It's your time to shine. Dive into a month full of excitement with events tailored just for you. From the lively tunes of the Royal Navy Band to mysterious bus tour and a cozy day at the movies, there is something for everyone.
This year’s theme, Explore. Engage. Evolve, invites you to step out, meet new friends, and redefine what ageing means to you. With 31% of our community over 55, it’s a fantastic chance to celebrate the vibrant role seniors play in Knox.
