The 120th edition of the “only in Oaxaca” Noche de Rábanos is coming. Tomorrow (December 23) the zócalo will be filled with radishes carved into religious, cultural, and fantastical creations.
Scenes from last year…
And, it’s not just a night of radishes, there will also be flor inmortal (a type of dried flower) and totomoxtle (corn husk) artisan creations on display and competing for prizes. Not to be missed!

Great photos! Can’t wait to see what they come up with this year!
The creativity never ceases to amaze!
In Ohio these flowers are commonly referred to as strawflowers and are surprisingly easy to grow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerochrysum_bracteatum

Yes, in California, too. Love the way they use them in San Antonino!
Love your photos – wonder if they celebrate in Teotitlán.
Thank you. No, this is an only in Oaxaca city event!
