Overview

Townsville City Council's Seniors Week 2026 is a free community celebration dedicated to honouring, connecting and celebrating Townsville’s older residents.

Bringing the community together through a range of welcoming, inclusive and accessible experiences, Seniors Week encourages people to stay active, social and engaged while recognising the valuable contributions seniors make to our community.

In 2026, Seniors Week rolls out the red carpet with a glamorous Golden Age of Hollywood theme, transforming the celebrations into a tribute to the elegance, charm and nostalgia of a bygone era. Attendees can expect classic Hollywood-inspired styling, timeless entertainment and plenty of opportunities to embrace a little movie-star magic. Think vintage glamour, movie-star sparkle and memorable experiences designed to celebrate connection, community and wellbeing.

The week features two flagship events:
