The article examines the unique features of folk holidays and festivals in Uzbekistan, emphasising their high educational value, their significance in educational and cultural aspects, and their key role in preserving national traditions and rich cultural heritage. It is also noted that Uzbekistan's folk festivals and holidays play an important role in the formation of national identity and the spiritual unity of society. Through participation in such activities, young people develop a deep understanding of the significance of traditional values, which is particularly important in the context of globalisation and increasing urbanisation, where there is a risk of losing cultural identity. Evidence is given that, along with the development of various spheres of society, Uzbekistan pays close attention to the promotion and support of culture. In the current period of society's development, considerable work is being done to strengthen cultural foundations, popularise national customs and traditions and create conditions for the comprehensive cultural development of the population.
