The 13^th edition of the Citrus Festival was launched on Saturday.

This year’s edition has a different format as it is being held with restrictions at the Kitchen Garden.

Nevertheless, the goal remains the same – to raise funds through the sale of citrus fruits growing in the private gardens of San Anton Palace in aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation.

Mrs Miriam Vella, wife of the President of Malta, called on the public to participate in this annual initiative and to buy oranges, lemons and grapefruit, as well as other citrus products, from the Kitchen of the Presidential Palace.
