Sanfest embraces all areas of the arts and is aimed at students of primary, secondary, technical and private schools who are 19 years and under. According to the San Fernando Arts Council, Sanfest, which originally targeted south-based schools, has been growing exponentially to other counties, and has been widening the participation of all children, nationally.
Accompanying this growth has been some changes and additions to the syllabus of categories offered for competition, and this has added to the festival’s appeal, and assisted in firmly placing the festival in the country’s arts calendar.
Like in previous years, Sanfest promises to be keenly contested in the national songs categories, steel band ensemble and ballroom dancing. The inclusion of Tobago into the festival since 2006 has added to the festival’s appeal and has assisted in making the festival truly national.
