Summary/Abstract: Although Gölpazarı district of Bilecik province has been located in a very important region throughout history, it has become an introverted district compared to other districts on the edge of the Sakarya River basin of Bilecik province, and has gradually become out of sight, due to the dignity of staying away from the main transit routes. Although this small geography, which is formed by very crowded mountain villages, knows how to protect its own culture of the life it contains, migrations from villages to districts and from districts to metropolitan cities in recent years cause folk culture to be forgotten. Gölpazarı and its region, with its districts and villages, contain very different folk cultures from the past to the present. The differences are striking, from the dialect difference between the villages that are a few kilometers apart, even in the robes worn by the women. These differences have not been investigated in detail until today, and research has been limited to a few studies. It is aimed to contribute to filling the gap in the study.
