Location to be revealed the day of event to attendees
Deets: Le Diner en Blanc, a leading summer event in Paris for the past 30 years, is now well on its way to becoming the event of the year in Los Angeles! On Saturday, October 12th, more than 3200 guests are expected to attend the sixth edition of Le Dîner en Blanc – Los Angeles, which will take place at a secret locationdisclosed to guests just prior to arrival.
THE CONCEPT
Every year in 80 cities around the world, thousands of people dressed entirely in white descend on a landmark public space with everything they need for an elegant soirée in tow, including folding table and chairs, gourmet picnic, fine china, silverware, and tablecloth. Over the course of the evening, the guests eat and celebrate amid live music and dancing. Many spend weeks in advance planning their menus and the white ensemble. The event offers the perfect occasion to express their unique fashion and design style; the often elaborate and creative outfits, fantastical hats, and decorative table settings are always a fabulous spectacle.
HOW IT WORKS
Thousands of guests are invited to attend an elegant picnic at a ‘secret location.” The outdoor phenomenon is held at the undisclosed destination only revealed upon arrival. To ensure that the location is kept secret until last minute, guests meet at an assigned departure location and are escorted by a Dîner en Blanc volunteer.
About Le Dîner en Blanc
In June 2018, Le Diner en Blanc de Paris marked its 30th anniversary. A record 17,000 guests from Paris and around the world gathered at the Esplanade des Invalides to celebrate this historic moment. Launched in Paris in 1988 by François Pasquier and a handful of friends, Le Dîner en Blanc has become a worldwide epicurean phenomenon. What was a “friends and word-of-mouth only” event has grown into an international sensation celebrated on six continents. While the technology behind the event may have changed over the years, the principles fuelling this fantastic event have not: guests continue to gather at a secret location for the sole purpose of sharing a gourmet meal with good friends in one of their city’s most beautiful public spaces. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Dîner en Blanc International is responsible for developing this secret posh picnic in over 80 cities in 30 countries around the world. Each event is headed by passionate local organizers who fell in love with the concept and wanted to bring it to their city, giving this rendezvous a local flair.
