This year's NSW Seniors Festival was held a few months early (in February), but since it is still hot in Moree at that time, it was decided to keep Moree Seniors Festival in April.
The theme this year is 'Love your Life', encouraging people to find new ways to love their lives during the festival.
"I've always thought you should be thankful for what you've got and make the most of it," Moree Seniors Week coordinator Lorraine Bartel said.
"I think it's a really good theme, you've got to love what you do and love what you've got.
"Moree Seniors Festival committee wish all seniors of Moree and district a happy and enjoyable week."
Moree Seniors Festival will get underway this Saturday, March 30 with a mixed triple bowls night at Moree Services Club from 6pm, with a supper provided by Moree Services Ladies Bowling Club.
On Sunday, March 31 there'll be a church service and afternoon tea at Fairview Retirement Village from 2pm.
