Kaamatan or harvest festival is a Kadazan-Dusun celebration for "harvest" and celebrated for the whole month of May every year. It is normally celebrated by the ethnic Kadazan Dusun and will be related to the other ethnic groups in state. Unduk Ngadau (Beauty Pageant) will be held during the Kaamatan and it ends the harvest festival with a newly crowned Unduk Ngadau ( to memorized of Huminodun).
Unduk Ngadau ( Beauty Pageant) will be celebrated on 31st of May every year
History of Kaamatan (Harvest Festival)
The native Sabahans consider that rice is more importance than just the main staple food. There is a certain sacredness attached to it, for it is a food given to them by their god (Kinoingan), the Almighty Creator. He sacrificed his only daughter called Huminodun and from her body parts, padi (rice) grew. This was Kinoingan's ultimate act of benevolence and to this day, his people repay the deed by conducting various ceremonies to honour the Bambaazon, the spirit of Huminodun as embodied in rice.
