The story

Lankaran Citrus Festival in Lankaran

Lankaran's winter citrus showcase runs inside the same combined Tea, Rice and Citrus Festival held in Heydar Aliyev Park, with roughly a hundred stands and a closing concert and fireworks. It likely describes the same event as the separately listed Lankaran tea festival rather than a distinct citrus-only occasion, so check local listings before treating them as two trips.

Lankaran's citrus orchards get their moment each winter at what local media call the Tea, Rice and Citrus Festival, a harvest showcase held in Heydar Aliyev Park that appears to be the same combined event separately listed elsewhere as a tea festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Lankaran is one of the only places in Azerbaijan where citrus, tea and rice cultivation overlap in the same subtropical microclimate, and the festival reflects that by running all three products through the same pavilions rather than separating them into distinct events

02

The mystery stays covered

The closing concert and fireworks give the day a clear, crowd-drawing finale that a simple produce market would not have

03

The city starts moving

Organized citrus-valley tours also run independently of the festival, so visitors can extend a citrus-themed trip beyond the festival date itself
