'Schulfest' is made up of 'Schule' (school) and 'Fest' (celebration). The first part is shortened to 'Schul-'; no linking element is added between the two parts.

The annual school festival takes place in the schoolyard when the weather is good.
Verbs such as 'veranstalten' (to hold), 'organisieren' (to organize), 'planen' (to plan), and 'feiern' (to celebrate) are often used with 'Schulfest'. 'Ein Schulfest besuchen' (to attend a school festival) is also a common combination.

The expression 'an einem Schulfest teilnehmen' (to participate in a school festival) is often used to express participation. 'An' is followed by the dative here.
