Does anyone know the date and location of the Lemon Festival in Cinque Terre in May 2013?

You'd think it would be posted by now. All I came up with is this: "The Lemon Festival is an annual event held on the Saturday preceding Ascension Sunday, at the end of May." I checked a couple of Italian sites for sagre and found nothing. I think it is in Monterosso al Mare. You might write to a hotel there and ask if they know....

Hedy, I wasn't able to find much information on the Lemon Festival either. However, by a process of "deductive reasoning", I'd probably aim for 11 May 2013. Based on a brief search, it appears that Ascension Day is often celebrated on Thursday, which will be 9 May this year. Ascension Sunday is therefore 12 May. I can probably find out if you really need a definite answer. Cheers!

I've found the answer from the Tourist Information website in Monterosso. The Lemon Festival will be on Sat May 18, 2013( and not on the Saturday before Ascension Sunday this year). Thanks to all you fellow travellers for the direction on this!
