The municipality of Salou will celebrate the Cós Blanc, the largest confetti rain in Catalonia, this Saturday, February 7th, starting at 7 PM on the Passeig Jaume I, featuring new presenters.

The event, framed within the Winter Major Festival, will begin at the Passeig Jaume I in Salou and follow a route including Carrer del Mar, Carrer Major, and Carrer Josep Carner, before returning to the final point. To ensure accessibility for everyone, a reserved area with direct visibility and adapted parking for people with reduced mobility has been set up.
The event promises tons of confetti, light, and music, and will award prizes for the best costume, float, and troupe. Additionally, TAC 12, which will broadcast the event live, will grant an award to the most photogenic float. This year features a notable change in hosting, with Roberto Vara and Laura Jarque, both from Tarragona, taking over from the iconic Juanma Hidalgo.

"This change reinforces the Cós Blanc's commitment to renewal without losing its essence, incorporating local talent to guarantee a dynamic, close, and high-quality show worthy of one of the most emblematic acts of the Winter Major Festival."
