Eighteenth Street Development Corporation (ESDC) celebrates its fifth annual Mole de Mayo, the only outdoor mole cook-off festival celebrating Mexican culture and cuisine on May 25-26, 2013 in Pilsen, the heart of the Mexican community in Chicago. The two-day event will include local restaurant chefs competing for one of two awards: Mole de Mayo Best Mole Award and the People’s Choice Award. As in years past, a panel of judges comprised of local celebrities will judge the participants’ moles. Along with the traditional mole puestos (booths), the festival will have a stage of musical entertainment, which features some the best and local performers, high-flying Mexican wrestlers, and much more. Festival hours are from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26. For more information visit http://eighteenthstreet.org or follow us on https://www.facebook.com/MoleDeMayo.
