What is Elders Fest

Elders Fest is the flagship celebration of Elders Adda, bringing together hundreds of senior citizens from multiple old age homes for a day of joy, connection, and fun.
 

The Fest features cultural performances, games, competitions, music, and interactive activities, all organized by dedicated volunteers to make elders feel celebrated and included. It’s more than an event, it’s a platform where elders can socialize, share their stories, showcase their talents, and enjoy moments of laughter and togetherness.
 

Through Elders Fest, volunteers experience the joy of giving, and communities witness the positive impact of compassion, respect, and intergenerational connection.
