Sarawak regatta is an yearly event in Kuching.The significance of regattas in Sarawak dates back to 1872 during the James Brooke era. It started with the intention to stop racial wars among local tribes where headhunting was largely practiced. James Brooke then instructed all tribes to instead challenge each other by having boat races to prove their power and strength. The call to challenge each other through the boat race rather than headhunting was successful in bringing peace to the area.
Beside Sarawak Regatta,there is also many Regatta all over Sarawak but Sarawak Regatta is the biggest event among-st all.
