Festa al Cel aviation festival in Salou

Overview

The Festa al Cel aviation festival in Salou took place from September 18 to 20, 2026. The second edition featured an expanded program of military and civil aviation, historical aircraft, and helicopters, with Reus Airport serving as a key logistical base.

Activities began with ‘Música al Cel’, a seaside concert by the Army General Inspection Music Unit featuring military music and cinematic soundtracks such as ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Top Gun’. Saturday’s schedule included the PortAventura Sunset Airshow—utilizing LED lights, lasers, and pyrotechnics—and a choreographed drone show featuring 300 drones managed by UMILES.

Sunday’s large-scale airshow included demonstrations by combat aircraft and acrobatic teams, such as the Eurofighter Typhoon, A400M, and Boeing Chinook. Beyond aerial displays, the festival village offered aeronautical simulators, exhibitions, and pilot autograph sessions. To manage the crowds, the Salou City Council activated a mobility plan with three major parking areas at Carrer Joan Fuster, the Festiuet area, and the Emprius zone, providing a total capacity of 12,500 vehicles.
