<![CDATA[This article describes the form, implementation, values of local wisdom, and efforts to preserve the Sadranan tradition in Kalisari Village, Rowokele District, Kebumen Regency. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a folklore study based on Alan Dundes' theory. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews with village heads, hamlet heads, traditional leaders, and community members, as well as documentation of Sadranan activities. The results of the study indicate that the Sadranan tradition in Kalisari Village is a folklore that is still practiced in society, encompassing oral, partly oral, and non-verbal folklore. The implementation of this tradition includes communal prayer, tahlil (religious remembrance), pilgrimage, kenduri (celebration), and communal eating as a form of respect for ancestors and an expression of gratitude to God Almighty. The values of local wisdom contained in the Sadranan tradition include religious values, togetherness, mutual cooperation, social solidarity, respect for ancestors, and preservation of tradition. Efforts to preserve the tradition are carried out through hereditary inheritance, active involvement of the community across generations, and the role of village officials in organizing activities. Even though there are changes in the form of implementation due to developments in people's lifestyles, the essence and socio-cultural function of the Sadranan tradition remains intact..
