Every year,the Sarawak Bisayas celebrate a pre-Gawai dinner known as Badudun Badapun,which literally means visiting each other.The dinner aims at gathering all Bisaya families residing in Kuching,Samarahan,Serian,Sri Aman,Bau and Lundu.Friends from other ethnic associations such as the Ibans,Bidayuhs,Chinese,Kayan,Kenyah,Lun Bawang and Kelabit are also invited to this pre-Gawai gathering.
In addition to the dinner,every first weekend of June,the community organises the Babulang Carnival which means 'special guests welcoming festival'.Tourists and the Bisaya communities from Sabah and Brunei as well as guests from overseas will come together to witness the 3 days unique cultural carnival.
