LOS ANGELES - eTravelWire -- Celebrate the 19th Annual La Feria de los Moles, a vibrant culinary celebration that represents the heart and soul of Los Angeles.
This cultural and culinary event, recognized as the largest of its kind in the United States, will bring together prominent traditional chefs, renowned chefs, cultural groups and artists, along with thousands of families to honor one of the most emblematic dishes of Mexican gastronomy.
We will offer three seminars: one on making mole with traditional mountain cook Margarita Villegas from Mexico's rugged Sierra Norte de Puebla region; another on preparing Chiles en Nogada with historian Marina Ortiz; and a third in which Mexican bakers will teach participants how to make puff pastry and Pan de Muerto (bread of the dead).
Offering a wide variety of Mexican moles, including mole poblano, shrimp mole, green pipián, huaxmole, Oaxacan black mole, coloradito, chichilo, manchamanteles, Oaxacan green mole, almond mole, vegan mole, white mole, adobo and just added mushroom mole and cheese mole.
In 2026, we recognize the State of Michoacán. From the city of Uruapan, you will be able to taste Corundas de Mole, Mole de Carne (beef), and Agua de Aguacate—all prepared by the expert hands of three traditional cooks.

In the coming days the Mole minibus will tour Los Angeles to share news about the festival, so stay tuned.
In our cultural agenda we will be joined again by the Voladores de Papantla, from Veracruz, who will perform an adaptation of the ritual that symbolizes the worldview and values of the indigenous communities, aimed at ensuring fertility and communication with the gods, particularly in relation to rain and harvests.
In addition to a special musical performance by the popular cumbia group from Puebla, Los Cometas Azules, plus banda music and sonideros.
HISTORY OF MOLE
Mole is a dish originating from the fusion of indigenous and Spanish cultures in Mexico, known as "molli" in Nahuatl. Its main ingredients include tomato, cocoa, vanilla, and spices, traditionally ground in a metate.
During colonial times, additional ingredients such as cinnamon, cloves, and almonds gave rise to mole poblano in Puebla. Legend has it that Sister Andrea de la Asunción invented this dish for Viceroy Tomás Antonio de la Cerda y Aragón.
Oaxaca is known for at least seven varieties of mole, including black, red, and green. Mole has become one of the most iconic dishes in Mexican cuisine, symbolizing the cultural fusion between indigenous Mexicans and Europeans. Its recipe has remained largely unchanged, but today there are numerous styles, contributing to its worldwide popularity as the first intercontinental dish in the Americas.
