Fiesta is around the corner, and the popular Oyster Bake is starting to release its music lineup for the two-day festival.
The 2024 Fiesta Oyster Bake announced the first wave of entertainers on Monday, Feb. 26. More announcements will be made in the coming days, and this story will be updated when that information becomes available. See the lineup below.
The Oyster Bake will take place from 5-11 p.m. on Friday, April 19, and from noon to 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 20 at St. Mary’s University, located at One Camino Santa Maria.
The music and food festival is a family-friendly event that attracts more than 70,000 patrons to raise money for St. Mary’s University student scholarships and university and alumni programs.
Also, the stars of the show — oysters — are sold baked, fried or raw. Over the two days of Oyster Bake, vendors sell about 100,000 oysters and 32,000 orders of chicken on a stick.
