- Abstract
Tradition and society are interrelated things, because tradition is a legacy that has been passed down from generation to generation by previous ancestors. The traditions that exist in society sometimes become crucial when their sacredness shifts into traditions that have entertainment value. This is what happened to the Banyu Panguripan Tradition which was part of the Wong Gunung Festival series of events. Commercial cannot be avoided because there are so many people involved that it gives rise to economic value. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. It is hoped that this method can become a tool that can answer several problems in this research. The problems raised in this research include forms of commercialization and conservation discourse in the Banyu Panguripan Tradition. Commercialism cannot be avoided when a tradition is packaged in the form of a festival. Traditional packaging, which was originally only intended for personal use, can then be enjoyed by the wider community, even outside the Pulosari District. The commercial impact of the Banyu Panguripan Tradition which is packaged in the form of the Wong Gunung Festival certainly has an impact on the community’s economy. The community is helped by the presence of tourists from both the Pulosari sub-district community and outside the sub-district.
