Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — More than 2,000 seniors from across the Wiregrass are expected to gather for Older Americans Day at the National Peanut Festival Fairgrounds on May 6.
The annual event, held on the first Wednesday in May, will run from 9 a.m. to noon and is designed to recognize and celebrate senior citizens in the community.
Organizers say the free event will feature live music from local entertainers, games, and informational booths from vendors offering services and resources for seniors.
Attendees will also have a chance to win door prizes donated by sponsors, which will be awarded before lunch. A picnic-style meal will then be served by volunteers helping make the day possible.
Event officials say the gathering continues to be a longstanding tradition focused on appreciation, connection, and community support for seniors across the area.
