🌟 Visit Vibrant Senior Centers
Start with a smile and a visit to your local senior centers!

They even host theme days and seasonal parties—yes, there’s dancing involved! montcosaac.org
Up in Harleysville and Lansdale, SPARK Senior Centers (formerly Greater Harleysville & North Penn Senior Services) offer a similar spark of joy with engaging programs, fitness classes, lifelong learning, and volunteer opportunities. ghnpss.org
🧘Stay Active & Healthy
The Montgomery County Office of Aging Services offers free wellness programs like Tai Chi for Balance, Chronic Pain Self-Management, and Walk With Ease. These classes are not only fun—they also build strength, confidence, and community.
Caregivers, we see you too! Programs like Powerful Tools for Caregivers give you space to recharge and find support.
🎨 Join Local Events & Festivals
Want to make memories? Mark your calendar for the Montgomery County Senior Expo in Oaks on September 18, 2025—a lively event packed with vendors, health screenings, giveaways, and social fun.
