In a news report by TVS, organising chairman Mark Jong Yhi Yang highlighted that the parade aims to foster a stronger sense of brotherhood among participants.

“The parade will kick off from the Methodist Church Petra Bau parking lot, make a stop at the Christmas tree site, and conclude at Lobuh Bau.

“Each church will contribute two decorated floats to enhance the performances,” he stated in a press release today.

This year, the event also features a special addition organised by the Bau District Council—a symbolic lighting ceremony of the Christmas tree in Bau’s town centre.
