Each year in August, Townsville City Council provides two major events as part of Townsville’s Seniors
Week: the Seniors Picnic in the Park and Lifestyle Expo and the Seniors Music Day on Magnetic Island.
These annual community events serve to acknowledge and thank local seniors for their contributions to
the community.
The Seniors Picnic in the Park and Lifestyle Expo includes morning tea, lunch and an entertaining stage
program for Townsville residents over 60 years of age. It also includes the Lifestyle Expo which features
information and displays from service groups and community organisations, relevant to seniors’ lifestyles,
as well as providing a social outing for many isolated seniors.
The Seniors Music Day on Magnetic Island allows seniors to enjoy a relaxed afternoon of free musical
entertainment and afternoon tea in a natural tropical setting.
These events are advertised in the local newspapers and on the Townsville City Council website.
Prior registration is required for lunch at the Seniors Picnic in the Park.
