HUMBOLDT — The 65th annual Biblesta celebration will fill the streets of Humboldt with songs of praise and the signature parade Saturday.
There’s plenty of fun on the calendar, beginning with youth activities at 10 a.m., at the same time a series of gospel singers will take the stage in Humboldt’s downtown square.
The Three Pastors will perform 10 a.m., followed by 7eventh Time Down at 11 and Lloyd Houk at 12:30 p.m.
The parade, which follows the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, begins at 1:30 p.m.
More music follows the parade, from Voice of Truth at 2:15 p.m. and Born to Worship at 3:45.
A free bean feed is set for 5 o’clock, with Biblesta After Dark games at 7.
Biblesta’s roots extend to 1957 when Dr. Arthur Carlson, while attending a cottage prayer meeting, envisioned a parade to focus people on the Bible’s messages.
In late summer 1958, the Humboldt Chamber of Commerce accepted Carlson’s idea for a Bible-themed parade.
