Golden Years Festival

2009

The Golden Years Festival for 2009 was held in the Tower Hotel, Waterford from 16th - 18th November. A full and exiciting programme of events was designed for the enjoyment of visitors and locals alike.

The Festival included Song Contest & Cabaret on Monday and Tuesday evenings with the Golden Years Festival Ball on the Wednesday evening. Day time activities included Indoor Bowls, Art Competition and visits to places of interest.

For further on the Golden Years Festival contact the Festival Secretary, Babs Murphy on Tel: 051 878245.

Now in its sixth year the idea for a Golden Years Festival came from the late Anna Manahan, Waterfords renowned International actor. Speaking at the Age & Power Conference organised by Waterford Area Partnership in 2004 she said that older people should be proud of their acheivements and celebrate their contribution to society by holding a Golden Years Festival.

The Challenge was taken up immediately by the Sacred Heart Active Retirement Association and they have hosted this wonderful festival for the past six years.
