The dress code for the event is elegant and all-white, with originality encouraged as long as it is stylish and tasteful. Table settings must also be all white, and guests must bring their own table, two white chairs, and a white tablecloth. Alcohol cannot be brought according to Victorian liquor laws, but guests can reserve wine or Champagne through Le Dîner en Blanc’s e-store and bring their own non-alcoholic beverages.
Guests will be escorted or transported from assigned departure locations to the secret location, with the location kept undisclosed until the last minute. The event is designed to be sustainable and environmentally friendly, with guests required to bring and take home all their own reusable table and glassware. Gourmet hampers and other food options can be pre-ordered and collected on-site for those who do not wish to pack their own.
Le Dîner en Blanc has become an international sensation, celebrated on six continents, and is now headquartered in Montreal, Canada. The event is fueled by the principle of guests gathering at a secret location to share a gourmet meal with good friends in one of their city’s most beautiful public spaces. The event is headed by passionate local organisers in each city, giving it a local flair.
