Night of the radishes [1]
[]
Date: 2022-12-24
La Noche de Rábanos (Night of the Radishes) is an annual festival in Oaxaca, Mexico, that takes place in the city's main square on December 23rd. The festival is a competition between artists who try to carve a winning sculpture out of large radishes. Religious themes are common amongst the radish sculptures, but there are a variety of other themes as well. Radishes are carved into small people, animals, buildings, various landscapes, and more. The festival begins in the morning, and the artists work on their sculptures publicly. At night, you can walk around and see the finished creations.
