Because Polyfest has grown so much that we simply can’t fit all the schools into one day! We have an incredible number of schools wanting to perform — an epic problem to have! Moving to two days means:

• We can finish on time each day

• Every school gets the space to celebrate their awesome students

• No one misses out on performing

It means more breathing room! Instead of cramming everyone into one day, schools will have a clear schedule and time to shine, ensuring we finish on time while still celebrating every group.

Yes! Polyfest has exploded in size with more schools, more performances, more cultural pride. One day simply isn’t enough anymore.

Yes! Friday evening will have an opening celebration vibe with cultural performances and a chance for families to enjoy after work. Saturday will be the full-day showcase with all the remaining school performances.

Two days means more time to enjoy performances, more flexibility for families, and a bigger celebration of culture. You can come Friday night, Saturday, or both!

We hope so! If the community loves the two-day format and it works well for schools, we’ll keep building on this success.
