After taking a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Biblesta Celebration will return to Humboldt on Saturday. 

This will be its 63rd year, and features a biblical parade believed to be one-of-a-kind in the U.S.

Things kick off with the “Run for the Son” 5K walk/run at 8 a.m., followed by kids activities and music in the park at 10 a.m.

The parade, a highlight of the day with floats that typically depict important scenes from the Bible, begins at 1:30 p.m. around the square.

Performer Lloyd Houk goes on at 2:30 p.m., followed by the Neosho River Boys at 3:30 p.m.

A bean feed is offered at 5 p.m.

Biblesta After Dark begins at 6 p.m. with an appearance by Kansas State University football player Ty Zimmerman, guest speaker Gary Larson and Presence Worship.
