The Festa del Limone takes place in Monterosso al Mare, a picturesque village in the Cinque Terre surrounded by olive groves, vineyards, and fragrant citrus orchards. Throughout the festival, the alleys of the historic centre are festively decorated with lemon-themed displays, welcoming stalls hosted by local producers. Visitors can discover, taste, and purchase a wide variety of specialties crafted with the famous local citrus fruit—a cornerstone ingredient of regional dishes such as anchovies marinated in lemon juice, limoncino liqueur, lemon cream, marmalades, as well as refreshing granitas, gelato, and cakes. The event also features cherished traditions, including awards for the biggest lemon contest and the best-decorated shop window in the village.
