Regulars will already know there are a few rules to follow if you plan on attending.
- The event is rain or shine and if you have a confirmed reservation you must attend.
- The dress code is white only from head-to-toe though tasteful originality is encouraged. Table settings must also be all white. Guests bring their own table, white chairs, white table cloth and picnic (or they can order one to pick up on site.)
- Guests cannot bring alcohol (non-alcoholic beverages are welcome) but can enjoy champagne and/or wine if they reserve online through the Dîner en Blanc e-store. Beer and hard liquor are prohibited at the event.
As always, the location remains a secret until an hour or so before the event. Guests meet at a designated departure location and are escorted to site.
Last year, the Atlanta event took place in front of Mercedes Benz Stadium. It has also been held at Millennial Gate in Atlantic Station, on Peachtree Road outside of the Fox Theatre and The Shops Buckhead Atlanta.
Each year, the event grows larger. Last year, more than 2,500 guests attended in Atlanta.
Diner en Blanc originated in Paris in 1988, when a group of friends met for dinner at Bois de Boulogne, Paris’ second largest park. The friends agreed to wear white to make it easier to find one another. Now more than 70 cities in four continents host the all-white dinner parties.
