Everything came together in the end and the 117th annual Noche de Rabanos was simply wonderful this year. I got there mid-morning, picked up my official press pass and made my way down to the zocalo. The artists were setting up, assembling their pieces, and that's always the best part. Because it was early, the crowds were light and there was easy access to everything. Once again, the work is amazing on so many fronts.
Front and back.
Wonderful detailed work.
And new techniques this year - stencils
And of course, Benito Juarez appeared in several displays.

And from the back....love the boy's look as he gazed up at Oaxaca's most important historical figure.
More in a bit... the dried flowers and corn husk pieces were every bit as spectacular or as they are more properly called, flor inmortal and totomoxtle figures.
