regional custom
Area-specific cultural habit
A regional custom is a practice or tradition specific to a particular geographic area, often reflecting local history, climate, or cultural heritage.
Such customs distinguish one region from another: The regional custom of greeting strangers is stronger in the South than the Northeast.
Regional customs cover food, dress, speech patterns, holidays, and social rituals.
