: The Indonesian government announced the year of 2009 as the Creative Industry Year. Performing art, including oral tradition existing in performance, has become a priority which will be developed to improve the prosperity of its supporting community. This goal is representative because Indonesian people have various performing arts and local literature which, if well managed, will support the creative economy. Banyuwangi, for instance, has various performing arts and oral tradition, such as gandrung poems, songs in angklung performance, jinggoan folklores, and traditions of wangsalan and basanan. To date, the relevant services of Banyuwangi government have not been able to make policies able to support the creation of creative industry pattern of thinking, system, and practice which are locally based and keep on proposing the characteristics of existing cultural values. Therefore, this article is aimed at developing a creative industry model based on Using local literature and culture. By using ethnography method and cultural studies approach, the model is expected to be able to develop the creative industry in the local area.Key Words: local literature; Using culture; creative industry; revitalization
