Enjoy traditional dishes from Sabah and Sarawak in celebration of Kaamatan and Gawai in KL. — ZULAZHAR SHEBLEE / The Star

Going home to celebrate the harvest festival may not be feasible for most Sabahans and Sarawakians residing in Peninsular Malaysia. If this applies to you, fret not, you can still celebrate by partaking in these events that are happening in the Klang Valley throughout May and June.

Taking place this weekend in Kuala Lumpur is the Borneo Native Festival (BNF). Both Sabah’s Kaamatan festival and Sarawak’s Gawai Dayak, the Bornean states’ respective harvest festivals, are the focus of the event.
