The Notolon Tarob Festival (Solar Eclipse) is held on the
24th of October to commemorate the solar eclipse that took
place in the Matunggong District on the same date in 1994.
This phenomenon is rare and highly feared by the Rungus people

is held for several hours in a longhouse, where family and friends
gather to sing and dance to the mesmerizing beat of the gong.
