Abstract

Oral tradition is one of the forms of folklore which belongs to oral literature. This paper focusses on the folklore in the form of oral tradition, especially Syawalan traditions in Pekalongan. There are two Syawalan traditions that are observed; namely, the Giant Lopis Feast and the Giant Cone Megono. The concepts used to support the study are Dundes’s concept of folklore and the concepts concerning food tourism and oral tradition. The methods of the research are library study, field work, and translation. The library study with its close reading focuses on the data from electronic sources and the printed data. The field work consists of participative observation and interviewing relevant informants. The result shows that the two Syawalan traditions observed have big potentials to promote Pekalongan tourism to domestic and foreign tourists if managed professionally. The on the spot finding also reveals that concise official records about these two Syawalan traditions still need much more improvement due to the limited data in the Department of Tourism and Culture of Pekalongan. Thus the application of the English translation with its product in the form of bilingual leaflets emphasizing the special forms of folklore is greatly useful to introduce the unique Syawalan traditions of Pekalongan to foreign tourists
