There is a unique celebration in Oaxaca, Mexico. The holiday is the night of the radishes, which is held on December the 23. People come from all over town to make radish figurines. This "unusual" festival took place 400 years ago because the radish gardens had so many more radishes than people could each. These radishes are larger than normal – so they can be carved into figures or entire scenes.
