Celebrations in Montreal! Le Dîner en Blanc celebrates its 10th anniversary in the city. Fun Fact: Back in 2009, Montreal was the first city where Le Dîner en Blanc was held outside of Europe. The Parisian tradition was already well established when Aymeric, son of François Pasquier, moved to Montreal.  In the summer of 2009, he decided to try the experiment in his new adopted city. This first edition becomes the basis of the worldwide craze for this chic picnic. Montrealers took an instant liking to this inaugural evening where nearly 1,200 people gathered at Marché Bonsecours. Year after year, Le Dîner en Blanc de Montréal has grown in popularity.  It has also been held in some of the most renown places in the city: Quai de l’Horloge, Place des Festivals du Quartier des Spectacles, Olympic Stadium Esplanade… For its 10th anniversary and to surprise its 5,500 guests, Aymeric Pasquier has teamed up with 3 former volunteer leaders of the event: Sarah Birtwistle, Arianne Justafort and Steve Laurent as well as a large team of volunteers (more than 150). Not to be missed!

August 17 - Premiere in Wilmington
The port city of Wilmington in Delaware is taking its first steps this year as the host city of Le Dîner en Blanc. The hosting team composed of Joe Williams, Michael Flagg, Shanika Perry and Sherelle Flagg have been working for months and look forward to share this French tradition.

August 18 - A Return to the Canadian Capital 
After a first Le Dîner en Blanc held in 2016, the event is finally back in the Canadian capital. With its grandiose Victorian architecture, parks and a canal filled with boats during summer, there is no doubt that the City of Ottawa has all the attractions to host a very successful evening under the stars.

August 23 – 4 events: from the east to the west coast of Canada via the American Midwest!

Nearly 1,000 people are expected to share a meal and enjoy a long and beautiful summer night of joy and friendship.


The largest city on the west coast of Canada, Vancouver will host its seventh edition of Le Dîner en Blanc! The 2017 edition created a surprise when not one but two venues were used to accommodate its 5,000 guests. It was one of the most spectacular events ever organized in the city. Let's bet that this year after their participation at the 30th anniversary of Le Dîner en Blanc in Paris, the Vancouver team finds themselves even more inspired and motivated to give its guests a new chic French experience.

For its seventh Le Dîner en Blanc - Chicago, the hosting team welcomes a new member. Brandy Koch joins the already experienced team of Lauren Haras, Roger Hobby and James Wild.
