The activities, held at the Senior Citizens' Center, will be free and encompass sports, cultural, and recreational proposals.
Over five days, participants can enjoy a varied program focused on well-being, including workshops, performances, and other activities designed to encourage the involvement of seniors in the municipality's community life. These events aim to boost participation and improve the quality of life for this demographic.
