<![CDATA[The Cultural Saturday program is a co-curricular activity designed as part of culture-based learning in schools to introduce and preserve local culture while fostering a sense of pride and love for the homeland among students. This study examines the implementation of the Cultural Saturday program in developing students' patriotism at SMAN 2 Praya, alongside the supporting and inhibiting factors that influence its success. A qualitative research approach was employed, with informants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time, as proposed by Sugiyono. The findings reveal that the program was implemented through six core activities: 1) Gemar Gatra gymnastics, 2) cultural bazaars, 3) traditional clothing competitions, 4) singing regional songs, 5) exhibitions of student work, and 6) extracurricular art performances. Supporting factors include teacher competence, strong collaboration among staff, availability of facilities, and high student enthusiasm. Conversely, challenges include the absence of specific program guidelines and limited parental involvement. This study highlights the significance of integrating culture-based activities into educational practices to instill patriotic values, while addressing the importance of clear guidelines and active parental support for program sustainability.]]>
