We frequently hear about the challenges associated with aging, and far less often about the positive opportunities. Getting older can indeed throw us some curve balls, but it also can provide newfound time to get involved, try new things and live life to the fullest!
This is why Capri Communities created the Enjoy Life Active Aging Symposium that will take place on June 10, 2026, at Elmbrook Church in Brookfield from 8:30am – 3:00pm. Designed for older adult 55+, this event is anything but typical.
It’s a lively atmosphere buzzing with music, movement, laughter and interactive experiences that will keep you curious, connected and energized long after you leave.
One minute, you might clap along as the Milwaukee Dancing Grannies, Ukuladies, Golden Gals MKE and Bucks Grand Dancers light up the room with crowd-pleasing performance. The next, you could pick up low-maintenance gardening tips from gardening expert Melinda Myers, watch celebrity chef Michael Feker whip up something delicious on stage or revel in a high-energy fashion show featuring professional stylist Rho Nelson and Lisa Pretto of House of Color.
That’s just the beginning.
Throughout the day, you can jump into yoga sessions, try your hand at cardio drumming, browse exhibitor booths, enter raffles, have your caricature portrait drawn, listen to music and attend informative educational breakout sessions focused on wellness and active aging.
New for 2026, attendees can enjoy FREE coffee throughout the day, compliments of Morrison Living. Soft drinks and bottled water will also be available, along with affordable lunch options thanks to our friends at Ascension Wisconsin Hospital, including $5 boxed lunches from Cousins Subs and $7 chicken Caesar salads from Skyline Catering. You are also welcome to bring your own food and settle in for the day.
One of the best parts of the Symposium is that there is no “right” way to experience it.
Some guests spend hours attending educational sessions and gathering ideas from exhibitors. Others come for the entertainment, activities and social atmosphere. And some come just to share the experience with friends and family while relaxing with coffee and conversation.
This flexibility makes the Symposium special. It feels like a community celebration where curiosity is encouraged and fun is guaranteed.
The event shines a spotlight on active aging. Today’s older adults are traveling, hiking, volunteering, joining clubs, trying new hobbies and redefining retirement. The Enjoy Life Active Aging Symposium captures that energy with exciting and uplifting activities.
Just as importantly, the Symposium removes the barriers that may keep you from attending community programs.
Admission is completely FREE thanks to generous sponsors and community support. Parking is plentiful and accessible. And there are ample places inside to sit, relax and enjoy the day at your pace. You can stop in for an hour or make a full day of it.
While walk-ins are welcome, guests are encouraged to preregister to reduce wait times and speed up entry.
The Enjoy Life Active Aging Symposium is a reminder that aging is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of an exciting new chapter filled with possibility, and maybe even some cardio drumming.
