The purpose of this research is to study and explore the role of the Central Java Permadani in preserving Javanese culture. Since 1984 the Central Java Permadani has committed to preserving Javanese culture, which is commonly called Javanese customs and traditions, such as Javanese wedding procedures and ceremonies, ruwatan , and traditional Javanese clothing. The role of the Central Java Permadani in preserving Javanese culture is done through two activities as its work program. The first is a structured activity, namely organizing Javanese Language Pranatacara and Pamedharsabda (Master of Ceremonies and speeches) courses in Javanese traditional bridal events. Second, it holds various activities temporarily to show Javanese customs and traditions that are still developing in Javanese society, such as performing Javanese traditional arts, holding mass rituals, and much more. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative, with observational data collection, semi-structured interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis was done through the stages of data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and concluding based on Miles and Huberman theory. The results show that the two Permadani activities above can preserve Javanese culture, although there are still challenges to face.
