Pesta Menuai / Pesta Kaamatan




Pesta Keamatan


 Tadau Kaamatan' which is also known as 'Pesta Menuai' (in Malay language) or Harvest Festival is a special event for Kadazan-Dusun tribes in Sabah (it's celebrated at village, district and state level annually). It's usually celebrated at the end of May (30th - 31th). Recognizable features held during the Tadau Kaamatan are including cultural performances, traditional sports, singing competition (Sugandoi) and the special Unduk Ngadau (Harvest Festival Queen) pageant. These features are closely related to the traditions of the Kadazan-Dusun tribes (initially), but eventually become more and more naturalized to all modernized Sabahan as seen today.
