The article examines and analyzes the folklore works of the Kazakhs of the Myrzashol region in terms of content, genre and structure. The folklore of Kazakhs in the myrzashol region has not become an object of systematic scientific research for a long time. Although individual Expeditionary materials were collected during the Soviet era, they were not fully studied due to ideological restrictions. Therefore, the folklore of Kazakhs in the Myrzashol region needs special study. In modern folklore science, one of the most important areas is the special study of regional folklore. Because the folklore of each region is different, it is an integral part of the national culture.

The theoretical significance of the study is that in the framework of the study of regional folklore, a special study of the folklore of the Kazakhs of the Myrzashol region contributes to the development of Kazakh folklore science.
The practical significance of the research work: the study of folklore works that were previously unknown to the country, the identification of their narrators and the conduct of scientific research by region.
As a result of the study, the typical structure and system of folklore patterns characteristic of the Kazakhs of the Myrzashol region, the characteristics of regional folklore patterns, their contextual nature and place in the national culture were widely identified. The collection of regional folklore works on the basis of research works: legends, traditions, Life Songs, ritual rituals, toponymic names, etc.the data collected in the results of the research work indicate the need for additional research.
