Held at the Wagga Civic Theatre, Rhonda Burchmore, Lorenzo Rositano and Wagga's own Darren Coggan put on a show to remember filled with classics like Silent Night and original songs like The 'Bidgee, which is a nod to Coggan's love of the city.
"[The seniors] let their hair down and run circles around the rest of us, they've got everything to live for at the most exciting part of their lives with not too many worries, so it really is a great time," Coggan said.
"The shows are designed to encourage the audience to get involved and sing along - It's all about having a laugh and enjoying the spirit of Christmas."
The Seniors Christmas Concerts are held at a different location around NSW each year, this year being lucky enough to land in Wagga, as well as Dubbo and Tamworth.
Acting Minister for Seniors Geoff Lee said the performances are all about gratitude.
"Seniors give so much to the community and these concerts are a way of showing our appreciation for their contributions," Mr Lee said.
"The concerts are a great opportunity for seniors in Wagga Wagga to celebrate the festive season, make new friends and sing along to some of their favourite tunes."
