To help ensure the community’s health and safety amid the pandemic, the St. Mary’s University Alumni Association decided to suspend Fiesta Oyster Bake for an additional year. The event will resume on April 1-2, 2022.

“I am sad to announce that we are canceling Fiesta Oyster Bake 2021 due to the substantial numbers of COVID-19 cases in our region,” said Joe L.

We will return next year stronger and more focused on continuing a better and safer celebration.”
