Residents of Arlington and beyond, mark your calendars for the opportunity to gather valuable insights into aging with grace and vitality. The City of Arlington has announced its annual Aging Well Expo, set to take place on October 14. The event, free and catered to adults 21 and up, promises around 100 vendors, fitness demonstrations, and complimentary health screenings, making it an informative event for anyone looking to enhance their later years.
According to the City of Arlington, this year's expo will feature a western theme, and participants are encouraged to don their favorite cowboy hats and boots. The venue for the expo is the Esports Stadium Arlington, located at 1200 Ballpark Way. For those who prefer to avoid the morning rush, an accessibility hour from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. will be available specifically for individuals using wheelchairs or walkers.
Pre-registration for the Aging Well Expo is essential, especially for those interested in securing a complimentary lunch. Attendees need to pre-register by September 25 to receive a grab-and-go boxed lunch that features a wrap—ham, chicken salad, or veggie—a cookie, and a water bottle. While there won't be seating to dine in, water and coffee will be accessible during the sessions.
Transportation to the event has been thoughtfully planned. Ample free parking is available, along with golf carts to assist participants from the parking lot to the venue. Furthermore, Arlington's on-demand rideshare service and Handitran will be offering free round-trip rides to patrons using the code "agingwell2025". Rides with the on-demand service can be booked through the Arlington Transportation app or by phone, whereas Handitran services can be scheduled by calling in advance, though it books quickly.
