From
the golden citrus parade of floats to the giant citrus decorations
in the Biovès gardens. The 74th Menton Lemon Festival
will celebrate
MENTON INVITE LES CARNAVALS DU MONDE,
invité d'honneur : INDIA
15 days of joy and exhuberant furies spread all around the streets...
15 days offered to the festive kids and the voluble feast...
15 days when the streets belong to the giants, to the music bands and to the acrobats..
Whistles, tom-toms, drums and maracas roll, knock, shake...
Together with the percussions, coppers play melodies.
With masked or painted faces, traditional costumes or clown suits, sumptuous caps or alluring wigs, the Festival of Lemon invites the Carnivals of the World.
And at the end of the festival, King Carnaval is neither burnt, nor drowned but quite simply crystallized or pressed!
