Simply Radishing! Oaxaca Artists Carve Red Veggies for Night of the Radishes

Description

Elaborate displays of radish sculptures attract thousands of people as Oaxacan radish artists compete for prizes in the annual Night of the Radishes. The event has its roots in the Spanish colonial period, when farmers began carving their radishes to attract buyers to the Christmas market. Local priests encouraged farmers to carve nativity scenes, and that's how it turned into a radish carving competition. It was formalized by the city 120 years ago, on December 23, 1897.
