Senior Month 2026

The Municipality of Lagoa promotes Senior Month throughout October, a series of initiatives aimed specifically at our seniors, to mark International Day of Older Persons. The various initiatives aim to engage senior citizens, promoting active and healthy ageing through activities that enhance physical and mental well-being. International Day of Older Persons, celebrated on 1 October, is a symbolic date that highlights population ageing, dignity, rights, and the contributions of older people to society.

More than just celebrating International Day of Older Persons, the Municipality of Lagoa aims to celebrate Senior Month throughout October, with a coordinated set of initiatives — health, culture, civic participation, leisure, and intergenerational activities — that promote active ageing, reduce isolation, and reinforce a sense of belonging and social utility. A well-designed Senior Month transforms the celebration into a continuous cycle of opportunities.

Thus, 1 October serves as a starting point and symbolic anchor, while the monthly programme ensures real impact, sustained visibility, and a change in perceptions.

You can consult the entire programme and register for activities that require registration online at the event page 👉 Lagoa Municipality Events, where you will find the respective form in the description of each activity.

Senior Month in October, for a more active and inclusive citizenship at all stages of life!
