Seize the golden opportunity to immerse yourself in the immensely diverse and vivid culture of Kota Belud this October at the Tamu Besar!

The 3-day event will provide visitors with the opportunity to stockpile on home wares and food produce as this is the time when vendors, farmers, and fishermen will have their best merchandize all lined up for customers to pick and choose.

This grand event showcases Sabah’s largest alfresco market while featuring the unique customs and traditions of the Bajau community. Throughout this event, the natives of Kota Belud will be out and about parading in their best traditional costumes.

If you’re keen to witness the much-lauded West Coast Bajau horsemanship, this is definitely the place to be. The younger generation Bajau gentlemen will get in touch with their age-old heritage as horsemen of the east in an exuberant display of horsemanship. There will also be a parade of ponies dressed in gorgeously ornate costumes. Tired of shopping? Other sights worth checking out include the interesting exhibitions of farm produce and animals.
