Arlington's annual Aging Well Expo is coming back this fall with a free day of resources, screenings and activities aimed at adults ages 50 and up. The October 7 event is expected to bring around 100 vendors together with fitness demonstrations and health screenings.
Pre-registration is already open for the expo, according to the City of Arlington, TX - City Hall . The city says attendees can choose between a 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. session and a noon to 2 p.m. session.
Free screenings and practical resources
The expo is built as a one-stop gathering for older Arlington residents, with health information and community resources available under one roof. The city has not yet released a detailed vendor list for the 2026 event, but the announced lineup promises a broad mix of services rather than a single-topic health seminar.
Last year's city event page described the expo as a free gathering with roughly 100 vendors, fitness demonstrations and free health screenings. That recurring format suggests Arlington is again using the event to connect residents with everyday tools for staying active, informed and independent, according to Arlington.
Two attendance windows are planned for October 7
The morning session is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed by an afternoon session from noon to 2 p.m. Offering two windows gives attendees some flexibility and may help keep the event manageable for people who prefer shorter outings.
The expo is part of a wider network of local support for older residents. Arlington's police department, for example, operates an Are You OK program that checks on Arlington residents ages 65 and older who may be vulnerable.
For now, the main details are straightforward: the Aging Well Expo is free, registration is open, and the event is set for October 7 in Arlington. The city says the expo is geared toward adults 50 and up and will include about 100 vendors, free screenings and fitness demonstrations, as outlined in its City of Arlington, TX - City Hall .
