AARP Celebrates You: Free Online Festival

You’ve earned a break! Join us for a free online festival with friends old and new. This 3-day virtual event, March 24-26, will be filled with celebrity chats — Tina Fey and Amy Poehler; Dolly Parton, James Patterson and Louise Penny; Sanjay Gupta, M.D.; and Ty Pennington — a rockin’ concert by Rod Stewart, a special screening of the movie Forrest Gump, and a live Motown dance party with the Commodores, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Gloria Gaynor.

Complete details about AARP Celebrates You, including the 28-session event schedule, member exclusives, registration and much more can be found at aarp.org/celebrates.

Reserve your spot today – and get ready to party with AARP!

I have the same problem as @CherylH530075 . I will not view it anyway as my internet gets throttled if I use too much bandwidth. Just wanted to let @AARPLynne know that some people may not be able to do this even if they wanted to view requirements or register.

I've tried multiple ways to open the link to the 'Celebrates You' website to sign up, and nothing happens - just an endless circle, even after waiting 5 min. I have NO ADBLOCKER extensions nor COOKIE-BLOCKING extensions on my computer; I'm using Google Chrome, Windows 10. I have McAfee Internet Security program installed. I do not want to try to view the Festival on my little cell phone screen - I want to use the large monitor on my PC and it's good speakers. Any suggestions?

Wow...you hit the nail on the head.

I have already heard enough of Sanjay Gupta's

drabble on cable news.

More rewards, fewer free festivals, please!

Instead of AARP spending money on celebrities, appearance fees, and other expenses associated with putting on this 3-day event, I would much rather see AARP invest in beefing up their Rewards program. This could be manifested in numerous ways, such as making MANY more high-dollar Gift Cards available, offering more valuable Sweepstakes items, continuing to expand their offerings of the most appealing Rewards to MEMBERS ONLY, and the like.

Just my $0.02
