Lendlease will be bringing together some of Australia’s most celebrated performers, entertainers, musicians, comedians and experts-in-their-fields (including gardening and culinary experts) for a unique Spring Retirement Festival, all September and October.

Having origins in Queensland, the festival has been a hit over the past four years of existence, with tickets selling out within ten days of release. This year Lendlease is expanding the festival to reach a national audience in all Lendlease Retirement Villages, promising to be bigger, better and more exciting than ever.

Lendlease Retirement Living Managing Director Tony Randello said Lendlease Retirement Villages are full of vibrant people who know that age has nothing to do with having fun or getting the most out of life, but rather that the notion continually celebrates life.

“It’s the perfect place to host an event that celebrates life, celebrates joy and celebrates getting older with all the vibrancy you can muster,” Mr Randello said.

“The Spring Retirement Festival is a celebration of everything you live for now. It’s the joy of getting older, remaining vital and having the perspective to appreciate it all.”

Entry to the festival is free for over-55’s, and this year’s festival programme comprises a mix of headline and local acts, encompassing the idea of creative ageing. There will be everything including entertainment, arts and culture, crafts, comedy, music, cooking and dancing.
