This study examines konat, a festive meal tradition that has been passed down through generations in the Kurucaşile district of Bartın and evaluates its socio-cultural reflections with a focus on local identity and responsibility. Within this framework, the study explores the development process of konat, its preparation, and the stages of the event in relation to the district’s unique cultural heritage. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 knowledgeable participants between October 22-30, 2024, and the qualitative data obtained from these interviews were analyzed using descriptive analysis. According to the research findings, the centuries-old tradition of konat, initially established as a festive meal tradition, has gradually evolved into a traditional event where the local community shares their regional delicacies with visiting guests. It has been determined that the local community and local authorities continue the konat tradition through collective cooperation to ensure its transmission to future generations and maintain cultural sustainability. This feast has been found to strengthen the spirit of community in the district, as local residents actively preserve their identity, past values, and cultural heritage while passing them on to younger generations. Raising awareness about the konat tradition as an element of intangible cultural heritage and analyzing its socio-cultural reflections through the lens of local identity and responsibility distinguishes this research. Additionally, the study is expected to provide both theoretical and practical insights into the potential of konat as a destination attraction and its role in the destination development of the Kurucaşile district.
