Lun Bawang people celebrates Irau Aco Lun Bawang (Lun Bawang festival) annually on the first of June in Lawas, Sarawak. This festival is traditionally a celebration of the rice harvest, but now it showcases a variety of Lun Bawang culture and events such as Ruran Ulung (beauty pageant contest) and ngiup suling (bamboo musical instrument band).

Being a predominantly Christian community, Lun Bawang also traditionally celebrates "Irau Rayeh" since the 1950s, which is a Easter festival and celebration.
