Approximately 6,000 participants are expected to join the annual Sibu Association of Churches (ACS) Christmas Parade this Saturday.
Under the theme ‘Jesus, Our Blessed Hope’, this year’s parade is organized by the ACS Sibu branch, with the Roman Catholic Church serving as host.

The event will feature a two-kilometre procession through the town centre, accompanied by marching bands and vibrant floats.
Participating churches include the Anglican Church, Borneo Evangelical Mission (BEM), Catholic Church, and Methodist Church (Sarawak Chinese Annual Conference and Sarawak Iban Annual Conference).
The Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Sibu and several independent churches will also take part.

Event organizing chairman Reverend Monsignor Michael Lee, at a press conference held at St Teresa Church, said the parade will last between 35 and 40 minutes and will feature marching bands from Catholic High School, Sacred Heart Bagpipe, Tung Hua School, and the Boys’ Brigade.
