I'm encouraging seniors to join the festivities, with some great Australian talent ready to entertain.
The Premier's Gala Concerts are undoubtedly the most popular event of the festival, which has been entertaining NSW seniors for four decades.
A stellar line up, including Kate Ceberano, Rodger Corser, Ross Wilson, Harrison Craig and Prinnie Stevens, is sure to have seniors tapping their toes.
There will also be plenty of organisations holding events and activities at the NSW Seniors Festival Expo, which offers something for everyone.
The NSW Seniors Festival is the largest festival for seniors in the southern hemisphere, with a number of free and discounted events.
Tickets will be available from Wednesday, November 30 at 9am via Ticketek: www.ticketek.com.au/nswseniorsfestival.
Seniors can also call 02 9215 7500 from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday, to secure tickets.
With the theme 'Celebrate together', other festival activities include a variety of cultural, creative, sporting and recreational programs.
Seniors make valuable contributions to their community through various activities and programs year-round and it's important to recognise this through these events.
Up to 32,000 seniors are expected to attend the four concerts.
The concerts will be held on February 2 and 3 at 11am and 2.45pm at Aware Super Theatre, ICC Sydney.
