Since its founding in 2012, Diner en Blanc International, together with local hosts in each city, has developed chic picnics in over 120 cities in 40 countries around the world for over 130,000 guests.

Diner en Blanc International prides itself on its partnerships with some of the most exciting and elegant brands; however, this event is, first and foremost, a dinner among friends. Sponsorship opportunities are limited to ensure the quality of the event and to promote its valued elegance, haute cuisine, and refinement. For more information, please contact [email protected]

Each guest pays a participation fee to the organizers in their city, which covers the costs of organizing the event (venue rental, transportation, security, insurance, entertainment, etc.). Guests also pay a membership fee to Diner en Blanc International, which makes them part of the Diner en Blanc network and guarantees them a priority invitation to the next year’s event.

Bringing your own gourmet picnic is always an option! If you decide to order a catered meal, you will be able to do so on the e-store 5 to 7 days before the event.

Your table must be square, foldable, easy to carry, and it must measure between 27 and 32 inches or 68 and 81 cm. It does not have to be white, as it will be covered with a white tablecloth. Depending on the city, tables and chairs may be provided.

Le Diner en Blanc is a rain or shine event. In case of rain, guests should remember to bring a white or transparent raincoat, poncho and/or umbrella. If public safety becomes an issue (due to thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornados), local Hosts may decide to postpone or cancel the event.

• Dress all in white and look your best! Elegance and Originality are key, so have fun with it! Keep your accessories white, silver, or gold.

• Bring a friend! You must be accompanied by a guest (2 people per table).

• Bring your own table, chairs, and picnic basket. Prepare your own beautiful dinner or order a gourmet meal from our catering menu.

• Attend, rain or shine. Le Diner en Blanc will take place!

• Arrive with your Table Leader and follow their instructions. They know what’s happening! Nobody arrives at the site on their own.

• Celebrate French culture with a glass of wine or Champagne. Guests are encouraged to drink responsibly.

• Clean up at the end of the night! The area should be as clean as it was upon arrival, if not cleaner!
