01

The place changes

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
