The Sagra del Limone di Monterosso which, this year, is celebrated on May 18, 2024, is a fragrant and fun homage to the citrus heritage of Cinque Terre’s largest village. The annual event transforms Monterosso into a lively celebration of lemons and highlights the deep cultural and culinary connections of the region with the iconic, sun-colored citrus fruit.

 Located along the most famous part of Liguria, the Riviera di Levante, Monterosso al Mare is blessed with extensive beaches and crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush vegetation, including prolific lemon trees, central to the village’s identity. The festival has been an annual tradition since 1967 and takes place every third Saturday in May.
