The story
San Fernando City Week in San Fernando
San Fernando City Week is a civic and cultural celebration marking San Fernando's status as Trinidad and Tobago's second city, held annually in the southern city that is home to landmark venues including Skinner Park and Mannie Ramjohn Stadium.
San Fernando, sometimes called the island's southern capital, is Trinidad's principal urban centre outside Port of Spain, and City Week gives the city a dedicated civic celebration distinct from Port of Spain-centred national events, drawing on local venues such as Skinner Park, Mannie Ramjohn Stadium and the South Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) that already anchor the city's cultural and sporting calendar
