Night of the Radishes: Radish-carving workshop

Join us on December 18 to create an epic holiday tableau out of carved radishes, inspired by the Night of the Radishes (Spanish: Noche de Rábanos) in Oaxaca, Mexico. A tradition dating back to 1897, the Noche begins with a community of vegetable carvers who transform quantities of radishes into festive holiday scenes. Visitors line up by the thousands to glimpse the ephemeral results: since the radishes wilt soon after cutting, the works must be enjoyed soon after.

Please bring a small cutting board and vegetable peeler or knife. ArtYard will provide the radishes and toothpicks.
