Looking for a completely unique way to spend your Christmas? Join us for 8 days in beautiful Oaxaca, Mexico this December for a holiday celebration you'll never forget. Oaxaca city is utterly transformed for the Christmas season with lights, music, decorations and festivities throughout the city. Starting December 16, Las Posadas Navideñas, the Christmas Processions, weave through the city for nine nights, leading up to midnight mass in the city center.
A highlight of this holiday retreat is on December 23, when we'll attend the 129th Annual Noche de Rábanos, a glorious and whimsical sculpture competition where all of the sculptures are made from radishes! On the 24th, we'll carve and assemble a radish sculpture of our own at the magical Casa Colonial, where we'll be staying. No previous art or carving skills needed.
Be sure to bring a jacket, because while the days are consistently sunny and in the mid-70s, it can get down into the low 50s once the sun goes down.
You're bound to have an amazing experience on this unique Art and Culture Adventure with Mija and Jon. The full itinerary and registration information can be found on our website:
