ACTIVE AGEING CARNIVAL
A Celebration for Life
This year the Active Ageing Festival is kicking off with a carnival where seniors can expand personal horizons and try out new things in a safe, fun and friendly atmosphere.
Embrace your more adventurous side with spin in a Go-Kart or aerial glide on the Flying Fox. There will also be talks, health screenings, games, demonstrations and trials from some 80 organisations and interest groups. This vibrant event also includes live performances, free screenings of classic movies and short films on ageing by Singapore's youths.
No matter how old you are, it’s time to turn back the clock and have some fun.
