Lemon festival happened practically in our backyard so we went to see what its all about. The first thing we saw was kids jumping on bouncers, their heads popping out of the grass surrounding Girsh Park.
There were too many sponsors and there was struggle to catch sight of lemons. The real ones, not the pictures. There were plenty of pictures and posters. The lemon meringue pie was definitely worth mentions, and we would have bought one too, had our fridge not been clogged with delicious chocolate cake(s).
Every three years I have to eat cotton candy to remind myself that I don’t like cotton candy. The lemon candy was good in spite of my dislike for candies. I could even taste the lemon (flavor), sidelined by overwhelming amount of sugar.
The live music was pretty good too. I apologize for the cheesy title. The festival indeed turned out to be a lemon compared to other festivals in SB. However, I can see why its great for kids. The avocado festival which happened same day also, is much bigger, I am told.
What a great idea, a lemon festival.
It is. They have a lot of festivals here, like strawberry festival, french and greek festivals, etc.. I’m not sure if this trend exists in the rest of USA too. How about Atlanta?
Atlanta has a very big Greek festival in early October but no strawberry/lemon/French festivals :-(
