The Cós Blanc in Salou

The Cós Blanc is the most genuine expression of Salou's identity during the Salou Winter Festival.

In 1981, a Festival Committee gave the festival its current format, creating a small parade that over the years would become the Cós Blanc, during which small newspaper clippings were thrown instead of confetti. Since 1995, the City Council has been responsible for organizing the celebrations.

According to legend, the Cós Blanc began as a joke among friends who, during a party, threw pieces of paper at each other. Today, it is a well-established event that evolves each year, incorporating new elements and constantly expanding its infrastructure and the number of participating groups.

It's one of the most anticipated and exhilarating events of the Fiesta Mayor. At a certain point during the parade, at the intersection of Ciutat de Reus and Barcelona streets, the procession stops, the music from the floats and the streetlights are turned off, and a spectacular show of sound, light, and confetti begins, driving the more than 20,000 people gathered there wild.

We're waiting for you!
