This research is conducted using a qualitative method with sociology and cultural anthropology approaches. Maras Taun is one of the traditional ceremonies that has been carried out for generations in Belitung Regency. It is not just a routine activity in Belitung Island, but at least there are three dimensions contained in the ceremony including tradition, symbolism, and values.
