Tinker´s craft as a door-to-door occupation was formed in the north part of Trenčín County (upper Považie and Kysuce) and later in some villages of northern Spiš. As a specific (non-agricultural) occupation of male population in Kysuce, it is a phenomenon, which influenced traditional culture of the region considerably. It brought some local and regional specifics into relatively uniform character of traditional way of life and thus created new types and variants in the structure of traditional culture. The aim of the paper is to present the impact of tinker´s craft on family and social life in Kysuce region in interwar period.
