The festival brings together the community in a celebration of life. It demonstrates that people, like anything worthwhile, improve with age and that their contributions to society are valuable, welcomed and essential.
Each year the festival continues the tradition of celebrating the valuable contribution made by older South Australians to the community. During the month of October events and activities are held for South Australians of all ages to come together to celebrate the achievements of older people. The 'Every Generation - It's on for young and old' Festival is both an intergenerational festival and a public acknowledgment of the contribution that seniors make to our society. It is a time for older people to share their achievements with people of all ages.
A highlight of the festival is the Every Generation Positive Ageing Awards. These Awards recognize the importance of a philosophy of positive ageing, as well as acknowledging the many contributions of older individuals and organisations to our society.
