The lyrics of American rock band Collective Soul may offer clues about how to see them, along with the other scheduled bands, during St. Mary’s University’s annual Fiesta Oyster Bake.  

Oyster Bake

“Show me where to look/Tell me what will I find?” Ed Roland sings in the first verse of their hit song Shine, but did you know he was talking about parking during the event?  

He wasn’t, but we can dream. 

Luckily for Roland, and everyone else, a list of planned University parking can be found below for Homecoming Oyster Bake (aka “Baby Bake”) on Saturday, April 6, and Fiesta Oyster Bake on Friday, April 19, and Saturday, April 20.
