Described as whimsical and fascinating, each year the city of Oaxaca (Wa-Saw-Kha) in Mexico hosts the Night (or Feast) of the Radishes, Noche de Rabanos.
The tradition began over 100 years ago when the merchants of the town square were looking for ways to draw worshippers exiting Christmas season services to their stores. Radishes were at peak harvest, so they started carving them into little people and animals. The people loved them and purchased them in force, using them as decoration for holiday festivities. In 1897, the major made this an official festival on December 23rd each year, the day before Christmas Eve.
Today expert and novice carvers alike compete for the best carved radishes. These are not your common small kumquat size radishes found in the produce section. Oaxaca grows a mega radish that can weigh up to 6.5 pounds (3kg) and be up to 20 inches in length (50 cm). The festival draws people from all over the world and includes a parade, music, food and fireworks. It's one of the most unique Christmas celebrations in the world.
