Night of the Radishes

The Christmas event in Oaxaca is the unusual Noche de Rábanos, which takes place on 23 December.

Artisans carve tableaux from giant radishes for kudos and a prize of $12,000 pesos (about £550 or $1,065 US dollars).

Check out the photos on the website of the Oaxaca state tourism office (in Spanish).
