Events and Engagement for Older Adults
Staying active and engaged in your community is an important part of aging strong in the City.
We can connect you to programs and outings that enrich your life in Boston. We hold a number of events every year for older adults in the city. These community events include our annual Mayor’s Walk, 50th Anniversary Celebration, and Senior First Night. For information about our upcoming events, call us at 617-635-4366.

Creative Aging Program Poetry Prompt
The "Creative Aging Program: Poetry Prompt" was created by the Age Strong Commission, in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture and funded by Goddard House. Through the program, we invited Boston older adults to submit original poetry to be featured in this collection.
