Night of the Radishes
By Linda Tancs
If food art inspires you, then you won’t want to miss the annual event in Oaxaca, Mexico, this month. Every December 23, the locals celebrate the Night of the Radishes (La Noche de Rábanos) with an eye-catching display of sculpted radishes featuring everything from saints to cemeteries. But don’t try this at home; the radishes used for the festival are grown in a restricted field and can weigh as much as 7 pounds! Carvers aren’t just in it for the art; the competition for cash prizes is fierce. The festival is complemented by music, fireworks and Christmas market stalls.
