Abstract
This study aims to examine the process of acculturation between Islamic values and local wisdom in the Sekaten tradition that takes place in the modern era today. The method used is descriptive qualitative through reading sources and in-depth research on several websites related to this topic. The findings show that the Sekaten tradition contains strong local culture. However, Islamic theological and ritual elements remain, such as religious lectures, communal prayers, and the symbolic offering of agricultural produce to Allah, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, as an expression of gratitude. From an Islamic perspective, as long as the religious aspects within this culture align with Sharia law and there are no deviations, this tradition is regarded as a culture that can unite and enrich local customs without losing its Islamic identity. This study emphasizes the importance of preserving the authenticity of religious rituals within this culture while also serving as a positive example of how local culture and Islamic teachings can coexist harmoniously.
