Summary/Abstract: The paper addresses the issue of preservation and transformation of traditional cultural elements in contemporary urban space. Attention is focused on northern Spiš, characterized by a proximity to Slovak-Polish culture, specifically on the town of Poprad. The paper documents preservation and transformation of traditions (based on Christmas) in contemporary urban environment and society. Tourism plays a significant part in the process of social and cultural development. The role of autonomy as a determinant of social and cultural events in urban environment is also not negligible.
