Babulang

Babulang

Babulang is the largest or grandest of the many rituals, ceremonies and festivals of the traditional Bisaya (Borneo) community of Limbang, Sarawak. It is a joyful occasion; involving many people; and incurs quite a substantial amount of expenditure to organize. The festival showcases various music, songs, and dances; displaying colourful traditional costumes; decorations and handicrafts.

It is only during 'Babulang' that these Bisaya's dances, songs, handicrafts and hospitality to their guests are on display.

Highlights are the Ratu Babulang competition and the Water buffalo races which can only be found in this town in Sarawak.
