During this celebration, there are parades of floats, interspersed (点缀) with marching bands and costumed     3     (entertainer), just like any other carnival parade. But there’s one big     4     (different) — all of the floats     5     (make) of lemons and oranges. It’s an all-natural and refreshing change. But the real show-stopper is the exhibition of huge fruit sculptures in the Biovès Gardens. Some of these figures can be up to 10 metres tall.

First held in Menton, France in 1934, the festival is held every year     6     (celebrate) the coming of spring. It is spread over a couple of weeks,     7     (typical) near the end of February. During the festival, about 300 designers and builders spend several weeks     8     (create) structures with lemons and oranges     9     (base) on a particular theme. For example, this year all these structures are related     10     “Operas and Dances”.
