This weekend the streets of Kiama, Gerringong and surrounds were bustling with people making their way around the exciting events across the area. 

The Bugle was lucky enough to make it to several of them. 

The NSW Seniors Festival kicked off on Monday 11 March and continues to Sunday 24 March, the program is available here with a number of events organised to celebrate the two-week festival.
