Boomerfest and the preview events are designed for boomers who are simultaneously helping their parents make tough decisions, as well as searching for resources to prepare for their own lives and futures. All events are free of charge. Last year, more than 400 boomers attended Boomerfest.  The event included over 70 exhibitors, health screenings, massages, reflexology and guest speakers which had one object in mind -- to help relieve what the committee calls “Boomerangst.”

The Boomerfest Steering Committee, comprised of health and service professionals from the Rockland and Bergen County communities in conjunction with Dominican College, have joined together to host a unique event for the baby boomer generation.
