Crab Feast at St. Mary's Parish

About This Event

Every February, St. Mary's Catholic Church in Sacramento transforms into a Mardi Gras celebration that's been drawing seafood lovers for years. This isn't your typical church dinner – it's a full-blown crab feast with all the fixings that'll have you planning your return flight before you've finished your last bite. The menu is a Louisiana-inspired dream: fresh crab takes center stage alongside shrimp cocktail, authentic chicken and sausage gumbo, cornbread that melts in your mouth, crisp salad, and dessert to cap it all off. The atmosphere buzzes with community spirit and Mardi Gras energy, making it feel like a neighborhood block party where everyone's invited. What makes this special is the genuine warmth of the parish community – they've been perfecting this feast for years, and it shows in every detail. Plus, Sacramento Executive Airport is just a short hop away, making this an easy weekend getaway that combines great seafood with authentic local flavor.
