Diner en Blanc is a HUGE dinner party, but not anyone can go. You have to apply to get an invitation and then you have to wait to see if you’re selected. And even then, the whole thing is super secret and you have to get on a bus and be driven to the super private, top-secret location. Or you have to be invited as part of the media, which is how I was able to attend!
Last year was the inaugural Dallas event and was held at Dallas’ Continental Avenue Bridge. This year, they went right to the heart of Dallas at Dallas City Hall Plaza. If you happened to be in the area, you may have seen roughly 2200 people dressed in white, departing buses and hauling tables, chairs, food and décor through downtown to get to the surprise location.
Now, while you might think this is just a fancy picnic, that would be an understatement. People go ALL out! The outfits were more than white clothes. We’re talking costumes. FABULOUS costumes.
