Casino de Menton, Avenue Félix Faure, Promenade du Soleil Avenue Carnot, 06500 Menton
A parade of colorful floats.
Join us on Sundays February 15, 22 & March 1, 2026 from 2:30 to 4pm on the Promenade du Soleil in Menton.
The highlight of the Lemon Festival®, the Golden Fruit Corsos transform Menton's seafront into a dazzling spectacle. The floats, decorated with lemons and oranges, parade in an explosion of color and music. Inspired by the year's theme, these tableaux vivants, made up of thousands of fruits, fascinate with their beauty and creativity.
To the rhythm of brass bands and other entertainers, artists, dancers and musicians bring the parade to life in a festive atmosphere.
Spectators marvel at this unique moment when the imagination comes alive with each float.
Confetti covers the azure sky... Sowers of atmosphere, brass bands and folk groups twirl, zigzag and dance between the magnificent citrus floats...

Every Sunday, the corsos attract between 25,000 and 30,000 spectators, equivalent to the population of Mentonnaise.
A not-to-be-missed event, to be enjoyed with family or friends, to celebrate the richness of the golden fruit, the symbol of Menton, in a joyful, sunny atmosphere.

Please note: last entry possible at 2.45pm, i.e. 15 minutes after the start of the Corso.
