The Promenade will be the place to party next week... if you’re a senior citizen. The Bayside District Corp., which manages the downtown and the Santa Monica Commission for the Senior Community, are finalizing plans for the 12th annual Senior Day.

The Thursday, May 13, event will take place at Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade between Arizona Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard, starting with registration at 10:30 a.m.

Senior Day recognizes community members 60 years and older and coincides with Older Americans Month, designated by the Department of Health and Human Services’Administration on Aging.

The theme for the month is “Aging Well, Living Well” and was chosen to “recognize older Americans who are living longer, healthier and more productive lives,” officials said.

Three hundred seniors are anticipated to register for the day’s activities. Terry & Shanna and Tunes R Us will provide music, and lunch will be served from noon to 12:30 p.m. for a $1.75 suggested donation. Speakers will include Santa Monica Mayor Richard Bloom and Stephanie Negriff, director of transportation for the Big Blue Bus.

Prizes will be awarded throughout the day from area businesses, including the Flower Box, Fritto Misto, Locanda del Lago, Royalty Auto Body and Ye Olde King’s Head.

The senior commission works in an advisory capacity to the City Council and city management on matters pertaining to the senior community.

For more information, disability-related accommodations or to volunteer for this event, call the senior recreation center at (310) 458-8644 or (310) 576-4754 at least three days prior to the event.

The Big Blue Bus will offer transportation. For bus information, visit www.big-bluebus.com, or call (310) 451-5444.
