local tradition
Community's inherited custom
A local tradition is a custom or practice specific to a particular place—a town, region, or community—passed down through generations.
Unlike widespread cultural traditions, local traditions belong distinctly to their area: The local tradition of blessing the fishing fleet dates back centuries.
They often mark identity and continuity for residents.
