The French Festival of Citrus Fruit, 2014 |
|
La Fete du Citron, or the Citrus
fruit Festival, is a unique and colorful event taking place at Menton in
the French Riviera. It attracts more than a quarter million visitors
annualy, drawn to this 'fruity' celebration that is includes amazing
parades of floats made of oranges and lemons that create fantastic
sculptures and patterns. This colorful celebration is followed by a
wonderful firework display. The festival is usually held during March of each year.
The festival floats carry up to 140
tons of oranges and lemons, and for three weeks, the streets are taken
over by 10 meter (33 feet) tall statues and structures made from - you
guessed it - lemons and oranges only.
