Deemed the largest Catholic Church bazaar in the Borderland, the fiesta was not held in 2020 because of the pandemic. In 2021, it was held at half capacity.

In 2018, the church was going on its 104th year of holding the festival.

To get there, take the Clint exit from Interstate 10 and follow the Mission Trail signs.
