The Fete du Citron (Citrus Festival) is a traditional Riviera event which takes place in Menton, Cote d’Azur every year. For just over two weeks the town is filled with day & night float parades, light shows, exhibitions & regional produce. More than 250,000 visitors arrive to be entertained, to witness the sheer extravagances and to be a part of this wonderful celebration.
Additional highlights during the event include evening fireworks displays on the seafront, evening displays at the Palais de l’Europe, adjacent to Gardens, the Festival des Orchidées (Orchid Festival) and the extremely popular Salon de l’Artisanat (traditional arts and crafts fair), as well as guided tours to take you to local produce factories, orchards and plantations.
