The people of Boleng celebrate a variety of festivals. Solung, Aran, Etor etc. are important festivals here. Legend has it that the festival regarded as Solung, which is the principal festival of the [[Adi people|Adis]], came into existence when the Goddess of wealth, ''Kiine-Naane'' had asked them in person to carry out this worship or 'puja'.

Solung is celebrated by the ''Adis'' for five days. The first day or the ''Solung Gidi Dogin'' is the day when they prepare for this event. ''Doreph Long'', the second day is the day of animal slaughters. ''Binnyat Binam'' or the third day is the day of prayers. ''Taktor of Ekoph'' is the fourth day and on this day arms and ammunition are manufactured. ''Miri'' or the fifth day is the day of farewell. The songs that are sung during Solung are the lyrics of ''Solung Abang'' that show the life of humans, animals, plants, etc. Solung is celebrated in the month of September.
