The "Festival Generasi Emas" held in Nagori Bah Birong Ulu Manriah is a community-based character education initiative designed to address the challenges of character development in children in the digital era. This activity combines elements of entertainment, education, local culture, and religious values through various competitions such as the call to prayer (adhan), memorization of short surahs (suras), coloring, and traditional games. The goal is to instill values such as self-confidence, responsibility, cooperation, tolerance, and discipline naturally through enjoyable, hands-on experiences. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results of the activity show, first, a significant positive impact on children's character development, such as increased empathy, social interaction, and enthusiasm for learning. Second, the festival also reduces dependence on gadgets and builds children's self-confidence. Third, this activity proves that character education can be carried out effectively through a creative, participatory, and local culture-based approach.
