The Mole de Mayo Festival, taking place in Pilsen from Friday, May 25 through Sunday, May 27, features a local restaurant cook-off, international and local performances on three stages, lucha libre, merchants, artisans and plenty of mole. MOLE’ comes from the Nahuatl word MULLI, pronounced (Moe-le) and means “sauce”. MOLE is a staple in most Mexican households and for this reason, we celebrate it!
