The 2021 St. Johns Bizarre has been canceled

We regret to say this but we will not be holding the St. Johns Bizarre in 2021. When we made the hard decision to cancel the Bizarre last year we were optimistic that things would be different in a year’s time. Unfortunately, even with the many positive steps that we as a state and as a country are making, it’s clear that we are still many months away from being able to safely host an event like ours. 

Please stay vigilant this year and continue to wear masks, practice social distance and get the vaccine when you are able. If we all continue to work together and take care of one another we can more quickly get to the other side of this and gather and celebrate once again as a community. Stay safe.

The 2020 St. Johns Bizarre has been canceled

We have made the hard decision to cancel the St. Johns Bizarre this year. We were holding out hope that we could postpone it to a later date but after many discussions we’ve realized that there are just too many unknowns for what the rest of the year holds for us to be able to do that safely and successfully. We wish this wasn’t the case for so many reasons. 

Please mark your calendars for May 8th, 2021 when the St. Johns Bizarre returns, and until then stay home and stay safe!
