San Fernando will celebrate the 37th anniversary of achieving city status on November 18, with three major events and the conferring of keys to the city on four distinguished honourees whose contributions span culture, business, public service, and community legacy.

Although there will be no traditional uniformed parade this year, the day will be marked by an interfaith service, the unveiling of new public art and a First People’s statue, and a formal civic reception and award ceremony.

Under the patronage of Mayor Robert Parris, celebrations begin at 9 am with a historic interfaith service at the Krishna Mandir, Todd Street – the first time in 37 years the service is being held at a non-Christian place of worship.
