Are you an active senior who enjoys fun activities and is looking for resources and information to enhance your lifestyle? Thrive Salisbury – Senior Life After 55 welcomes the sunshine and returns on Friday, March 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Free and open to the public, this 2025 event offers older adults an array of activities to try, plus a selection of personalized services, resources and demonstrations. The Thrive open house includes vendors, exhibitors, food, entertainment and giveaways, presented by Salisbury Independent/ BayToBayNews.com in partnership with Lakeside at Mallard Landing.

With a beautiful location and interesting activities, this event is designed to help older adults reach their goals of continuing to lead an active life.

Vendors and exhibits range from home services and healthcare to local professionals and nonprofits to both serve the community, or serve as seniors’ next volunteer projects.

Guests can enjoy a laid-back atmosphere to ask questions and learn more about businesses and community organizations.

Local groups will give hands-on demonstrations to help make life easier. Amanda Fooks will demonstrate chair stretching at 10 a.m. Wicomico Public Library presents Learning about Ancestry Research at 10:30 a.m. Throughout the day will be “Get Hip, Don’t Slip” demonstrations by Powerback Rehabilitation To You. Lakeside at Mallard Landing will give neighborhood tours throughout the day.

Bingo with prizes will thrill guests at 1 p.m., plus the morning musical stylings of DJ Robert Helgeson and afternoon music by Cup Of Joe Entertainment.

Plus, the crowd always looks forward to tremendous door prizes and gift baskets provided by all the vendors. Breakfast coffee and pastries will be complimentary, while supplies last.

Older adults also enjoy the atmosphere of camaraderie with their peers, adults who have had similar life experiences, whether raising children, welcoming grandkids, and prioritizing health, hobbies or volunteerism.

Event sponsors who make this possible are Chesapeake Health Care and ClearCaptions.

Lakeside at Mallard Landing is located at 1109 South Schumaker Drive, Salisbury, Md. Parking is free and located near the main building.
