Centro Cultural Aztlan’s 16th Annual Mole Fest - “a taste of culture, art, and cuisine” - will be held at the organization’s Galería Expresión in the Deco District of San Antonio on October 17, 2024 from 6:00-10:00pm. At the 16th Annual Mole Fest, local chefs, individual community members, and restaurants will have the opportunity to compete for bragging rights and the title of “Best Mole in San Antonio.” Winners will be selected by popular vote.
Live music, new works of art by over 30 local artists, and a wide variety of mole recipes available for tasting will create an atmosphere of celebration and cultural pride. Attire for the event will be “dark chocolate and decadent.”
Mole is a traditional Mexican sauce of pre-Columbian origin, which comes in a variety of colors and flavors, and can require dozens of ingredients to prepare - including ground spices, chilies, chocolate, and much more. A mole prepared from scratch can easily require a full day of preparation.
Mole is an important part of Mexican and Mexican-American culture, often prepared for celebrations like weddings, anniversaries, and quinceañeras. Many families have passed down their mole recipes for generations.
Centro Cultural Aztlan was founded in 1977, and has been serving our community for 47 years with a mission of preserving, developing and promoting Chicano, Latino and Indigenous art and culture. All proceeds for this event go back into the operational costs of the organization in order to continue providing quality programming to the citizenry of San Antonio.
