It’s a fact! At last the date of the 2024 National Mole Fair was announced, a gastronomic event that takes place every year in Milpa Alta. If you have never been, and you don’t know what to expect, this is your chance to organize your agenda and not miss the 47th edition.
The fair will be held 📅 October 4-27 in San Pedro Atocpan (📍 Carretera Xochimilco-Oaxtepec k. m. 17.5, Milpa Alta). It is worth mentioning that the inhabitants of this town usually prepare and consume mole during festivities; it is always present at weddings, XV years, baptisms and first communions.
During the 1970s, the mole trade began and soon became one of the main economic activities in the region. Many of the businesses transformed their artisanal preparation to an industrial model that is distributed to different areas of Mexico City.
This way, your palate will not only taste the flavor, but also know the experience of the cook. Get ready to eat all kinds of moles; from almendrados, to sweets and mole verde. On the one hand, there will be the sale of moles so you can make your own stews and, on the other hand, there will be preparations where the star of the dish is this delicacy.
The Mole Fair in Milpa Alta is complemented by a line-up of shows and artistic presentations, as well as mechanical games where families have a great time. We are anxious to know the itinerary for this 2024!
