What We Do
AgeWellFest
Join us on Tuesday, September 15, at the Keeney Memorial Cultural Center in Wethersfield for AgeWellFest — a two-part celebration of aging well in Connecticut.
AgeWellFest: Connection kicks off at 1:30 pm. It’s an intimate knowledge-sharing opportunity, with presentations from our Community Leaders Fellows, as well as partners from AARP’s Age-Friendly Network and Dementia-Friendly America. It’s ideal for older adults and municipal leaders who want to know more about bringing age-friendly initiatives to their communities.
At 5:00, the party starts! At AgeWellFest: Celebration, we’ll honor this year’s Wellspring Award winners and share inspiration for aging well at our interactive Discovery Hubs.
AgeWellFest is free to attend — come to just one part, or both!
