Mumbai’s Evergreen Fest returns to Nehru Centre in Worli on April 25-26, with Seniors Today billing it as the third edition of its seniors-focused entertainment festival. (seniorstoday.in) The event page says the two-day program is curated by Seniors Today and the Evergreen Club and combines wellness, hobbies, travel and entertainment for older adults. Participants can enter up to four events, and the listed participation fee is Rs. 3,500 including taxes. (seniorstoday.in) An ANI-distributed announcement published April 23 said the 2026 edition is co-sponsored by Saifee Hospital and Mrudul Hearing Aid Centre. The same release lists singing, stand-up comedy, ventriloquism, a ghazal evening, digital literacy sessions, will-making guidance, a Bollywood quiz, tambola and a senior fashion show. (tribuneindia.com) Seniors Today chief executive Digamber Sethi said the festival is meant to “rewrite the narrative around ageing in India” and frame later life around dignity, independence and joy. The company’s event page also pitches the festival as a place to build friendships, showcase talents and discover products and services for life after 60. (tribuneindia.com; seniorstoday.in) The timing lines up with a larger demographic shift in India. A Press Information Bureau release in October 2025 said India’s senior citizen population is projected to reach about 230 million by 2036, or roughly 15% of the country’s population. (pib.gov.in) A 2023 India Ageing Report released by the United Nations Population Fund and cited by the Press Information Bureau said the share of Indians aged 60 and above was 10.1% in 2021 and is projected to rise to 20.8% by 2050. That report drew on Census data, the Longitudinal Ageing Survey in India and official population projections. (pib.gov.in; india.unfpa.org) Seniors Today runs as a digital platform and e-magazine for older readers, with regular coverage of health, wellness, travel and entertainment. Its homepage this week was promoting webinars, magazine issues and the Evergreen Fest alongside other senior-focused features. (seniorstoday.in) For Mumbai this weekend, the pitch is simple: a ticketed, stage-heavy gathering built around older adults as participants, not spectators. Registration and event details remain live on the organizer’s website ahead of Saturday’s opening. (seniorstoday.in)
