Do you love a memorable dinner party like I do? Then you need to check out Dîner en Blanc coming up on September 19th in NYC! This annual event is an elegant outdoor dinner affair that started in Paris in 1988. For the first time ever, Chambord is the National Sponsor and will feature a wonderful activation at the NYC event. Gerard-Bertrand is the local wine sponsor. Additionally, world-acclaimed French chef Daniel Boulud is crafting 2 special picnic baskets for gourmet meal orders on Dîner en Blanc‘s website. Over 4,000 guests will attend this year in all-white fashion and with beautiful white table decorations! The NYC celebration will take place at a secret iconic location shared moments before the event starts.
Another exciting element is first-ever international event theme, Blooming Elegance. Guests are encouraged to use floral decor to accentuate their outfits and tablescapes. I’m so excited to see how guests will creatively integrate floral elements into their style and table decor!
Guests will dine, dance and celebrate an unforgettable evening with friends, food, and wine. Past Dîner en Blanc events have featured thrilling entertainment such as unique live bands, performers on stilts, captivating dancers, and creative DJs. Previous iconic event locations include Union Square, Meatpacking District, Battery Park, and Lincoln Center.
Check out these lively videos from the 2023 event in Meatpacking District and from last year’s event in Union Square to get a real feel for the unique dining experience:

I have attended many Dîner en Blanc NYC events, and I always look forward to the epic moments. One of these moments happens as guests wave their napkins to get dinner started. Another one happens when everyone walks around admiring each other’s table decor.
