• Live music and performances using traditional instruments and rituals you won't see anywhere else.
• Delicious traditional food that's sure to win your heart (and stomach).

There's even a dance competition with 10 amazing groups from different communities, each bringing their unique style to the stage.

There will also be guest performances by renowned artists, including Leles Koronob, a celebrated Sabahan singer known for her beautiful voice and touching songs, as well as the Perantis Seni Budaya Sabah Band.
