The School of Arts and Culture at MHP is hosting its 5th annual Chile, Mole, Pozole (CMP) festival from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on September 11 at the Mexican Heritage Plaza.

Experience intergenerational traditions, renowned family recipes, and a new cumbia sound by headliner Discos Resaca Collective.

CMP is a family-friendly event celebrating Mexican Independence Day with traditional mole and pozole cuisine, salsa tasting, performances, and live music. Purchase $5 early bird tickets for Adults and Youth (limited-time only). Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door: $10 for adults, $5 for youth, and free for children six and under.

Showcasing the beauty of the Mayfair neighborhood, SOAC is excited to unite with artists, dancers, and other creatives.

Performers at CMP include the longstanding Aztec dance group Calpulli Tonalehqueh and Los Lupeños de San José.

Guests will also have the opportunity to admire all of the art from the exhibition, “An American Mosaic,” which offers a glimpse into the vast range of artists that call San José home. Works/San José and Mosaic America link efforts with the School of Arts and Culture at Mexican Heritage Plaza to create a mesmerizing experience.

As a leader in the community, SOAC highlights many of Mexico’s authentic celebrations, traditions, and historical events. Chile, Mole, Pozole celebrates one of Mexico’s most significant victories – the day Miguel Hidalgo called for independence from Spain in the “Grito de Dolores” battle on September 16, 1810. SOAC’s celebration of Mexican Independence Day stands apart from the commercialization often seen during Cinco de Mayo.
