Young at Heart Festival

The Young at Heart Festival is a week dedicated to celebrating the older community in Tauranga, welcoming parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors alike. You’ll find a range of community-led events, from fitness classes to workshops, all designed to encourage learning and socializing. Many activities offer free tasters during the festival, making it easy to try something new without commitment. The festival’s focus on skill sharing means you can pick up practical tips or hobbies that might stick with you beyond the week. What makes this festival stand out is how it blends activity with connection in a relaxed, inclusive way. Whether you’re looking to meet others or simply enjoy a new experience, the events create a space where everyone can feel comfortable. The ongoing nature of many activities means you can keep the momentum going long after the festival ends. It’s a chance to engage with your community at your own pace, surrounded by people who share your interests.
