Happy Harvest Festival

Hasat Şenliği Sabah & Labuan kutlanır - Mayıs 30 & 31 yılda.

Thank you for choosing our Kaamatan or Harvest Festival application.

Sabah is a multicultural state that hosts 30 different ethnic groups. Each ethnic group has its own individual language, traditions, arts and crafts, and way of living. Every year the Sabah Fest brings these groups together to celebrate Sabah's cultural diversity and unique heritage. Various cultural programmes are held with each community depicting the highlights of their own traditions. Stalls are set up where rare handicrafts and woodcarvings from various tribes are sold. A rich variety of Sabah's cultures and genres can be seen at this festival.

Rice is the staple diet of most Sabah people and for them, this crop is a gift from their God - Kinoingan. Legends say, Kinoingan sacrificed his only, beautiful daughter 'Huminodun' and showed her body parts as seeds, which later grew to padi (rice). To this day, the people honor the commitment shown by their God in the form of a festival by conducting various ceremonies as a tribute to Bambaazon, the spirit of Kinoingan's daughter 'Huminodun'. During the Pesta Kaamatan festival, which takes place during first week of May, the Magavau ritual is conducted to invite the spirit of Bambaazon to the Pesta. This ritual is performed only by the high priestess as without the spirit of Bambaazon the festival cannot go on further.

A harvest festival is an annual celebration that occurs around the time of the main harvest of a given region. Given the differences in climate and crops around the world, harvest festivals can be found at various times at different places. 

The Harvest Festival is celebrated in Sabah and Labuan on the 30th and 31st of May every year is widely known as Pesta Ka'amatan. ... Ever since people honor Kinoingan's sacrificial deed by conducting various ceremonies like Magavau and Humabot during this festival.

Kaamatan or Pesta Kaamatan is a form of harvest festival celebrated annually in the state of Sabah in Malaysia.
