Diner en Blanc is a truly magical event and it’s returning to Philly on August 21, 2014 at a secret location. We can’t explain the magic or specatular status of this event better then the hosts themselves, so if you are unfamiliar here is a description of Diner en Blanc from their website:
At the last minute, the location is given to thousands of friends and acquaintances who have been patiently waiting to learn the “Dîner en Blanc’s” secret place. Thousands of people, dressed all in white, and conducting themselves with the greatest decorum, elegance, and etiquette, all meet for a mass “chic picnic” in a public space.
Over the course of an evening, the diners enhance the function and value of their city’s public space by participating in the unexpected. Beyond the spectacle and refined elegance of the dinner itself, guests are brought together from diverse backgrounds by a love of beauty and good taste. Le Dîner en Blanc recalls the elegance and glamour of court society, and diners engage one another knowing they are taking part in a truly magical event. There are no disruptions: no car traffic, no pedestrian traffic, except for the occasional amazed and astonished looks from passersby at the scene unfolding before them. And we, as they, wonder whether it’s all not a dream…
Now it may be too late to take part in this upcoming event, but register online in order to receive an invite next time around!
While you’re out and about look for large groups of happy people all dressed in white on August 21st and you may be in the “know” and discover the secret location of Diner en Blanc.
