Harvest Festival

Harvest Festival is celebrated by all Dusun Kadazan (KDM) ethnic throughout May every year. But some are still celebrating that festival till mid June. The festival is held to commemorate the sacrifice of Hominodun ( the daughter of Kinorohingan) to provide meals for the people when there was a long dry season . Her body was chopped into several pieces and each piece sprouted into one type of food crops such as paddy, corn, tapioca, potato and wheat. 

One of the events was Magagung Competition. Here are some of the participant during presentation of their gong rendition. The competition aimed at nurturing the talent of the younger generation to perform traditional music as well as knowing more about the music.
