Since the dawn of time, the Kadazandusun and Murut people have been celebrating an elaborate Harvest Festival, the Pesta Ka'amatan in their own unique way to pay homage to the Bambazon, the rice spirit, to mark their gratitude for ar bountiful harvest. Merry-making takes place in virtually all villages and districts throughout Sabah which host their own celebrations during the month of May. The climax of the celebrations is the two-day state holiday and the ensuing festivals held at annually chosen places such as the Hongkod Koisaan in Penampang on the 30th and 31st of May. Penampang and Papar is the kadazan community area in sabah borneo
