Night of the Radishes. Every December 23rd in Oaxaca, Mexico. Using radishes that are not pulled from the ground until several months after they would normally have been harvested, talented local craftspeople carve the abnormally huge (and oddly formed) root vegetables into various objects, from simple Jack 'O Lantern type faces to complex scenes of fiestas complete with musicians and dancing figures to incredibly detailed Nativity scenes.
It's a hoot, thought I'd give it a mention.
