Diner en Blanc international connects people in communities around the world. We support a network of passionate individuals who want to organize a Diner en Blanc event in their city while respecting the traditions, values, and regulations that make Le Diner en Blanc a globally recognized and protected brand. We offer local hosts the licence to use our trademark, access to a custom city website and social media platforms, and support services from a PR Specialist and a Project Manager free of charge to oversee event production, sponsorships, and guest-management software. Diner en Blanc International grows organically, a little each year, to promote local economies, talent and entertainment, and locally grown and artisanal food.

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.

Organizing a large-scale event like Le Diner en Blanc takes a great deal of commitment and preparation. We generally require a minimum of 6 months to help you organize and execute your event. Diner en Blanc International does not charge local hosts to become part of our network or to use our trademark; however, hosts must accept the responsibilities associated with taking on a large-scale event and commit to respecting the guidelines and specifications intended to preserve the spirit and the values of Le Diner en Blanc.

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.

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.

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.

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]
