Abstract: This research aims to analyze the meaning of the traditional ceremony for the Kebumen Regency fishing communities. Grebeg Suran Sedekah Laut, an ancestral cultural heritage that Javanese people, especially coastal communities, is still carried out and considered to have a message and power to ask for safety. This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive data. The participants in this research were community leaders who are key informants and the people who work as fishermen. The data were collected using interviews and literature studies to discover the community’s meaning of the traditional ceremony Grebeg Suran Sedekah Laut. The results showed that the people interpret such ceremonies as a form of hope and expression of gratitude for the wealth of the sea to God Almighty. Such a hope is made so fishermen and communities around the coast have abundant results. The hope is also intended to obtain safety while earning a living at sea. This research can be used to educate the current Indonesian generation to understand cultural meaning from cultural ceremonies such as the Grebeg Suran Sedekah Laut traditional ceremony.
