Regatta Lepa-Lepa is an annual event in Semporna Town which celebrates the age-old Bajau tradition of boat-making. Semporna Town is home of the seafaring East Coast Bajaus who are known for boat craftsmanship. The lepa boat is a beautifully hand-made vessel which during celebrations, is adorned with a dramatic decorative sail - the sambulayang. Since 1994, the Regatta Lepa-lepa has become a big tourist attraction in Sabah, with international tourists came just for the parade of these splendid boats...
The most beautiful lepa, local ethnic music and dance performances, beauty pageant and sea-sports activities are among the activities each year.
