This is in line with local wisdom in the Gresik district community, namely Islamic religion, mutual cooperation and support (souvenirs). Most of the main jobs of the Gresik community are traders and farmers, so the characteristic of the Gresik community is that they believe that they must struggle to stay alive and have to work so that a prosperous life can help others.
