About the Feast of the Radishes in Oaxaca, Mexico
Festivals & Fairs
Ends: Dec 23, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
Described as whimsical and fascinating, each year, the city of Oaxaca (pronounced 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 decorations for holiday festivities. In 1897, it was declared 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 typical 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 worldwide and includes a parade, music, food, and fireworks. It's one of the unique Christmas celebrations in the world.
