Lemon Festival

Late January through mid-FebruarySince the 1930s the town of Menton, France, has celebrated its annual Lemon Festival for three weeks beginning in late January or February.

Performances of local folk music and dance also take place during the festival. In addition, visitors may stroll by scenes from famous stories reconstructed out of citrus fruits and displayed in one of the city's parks. The Lemon Festival coincides with another important local event, the Orchid Festival.
