Le Dîner en Blanc in October 2018
In October, Le Dîner en Blanc is all about Australia and the United States. For the first one, spring is at its door and for the latter, autumn can be sweet and mild enough for a night under the stars. Three events in Oceania will be in Brisbane, Gold Coast, Toowoomba. On the American continent, five events are happening in Sacramento, New Orleans, Orange County, Charleston and Atlanta. However, the festivities open on the African continent with Le Dîner en Blanc - Nairobi!
October 6 - Le Dîner en Blanc Celebrated in Africa and the US
Safari, nature reserve, "greenest city under the sun", no need to say more, you will have recognized the first city hosting Le Dîner en Blanc for this month: Nairobi! The capital and largest city of Kenya celebrate this year its 4th edition. After the Uhuru Gardens Park, Fadhili Gardens and Garden City Mall, where will the hosts take their guests this year?
Same day, a few hours later: Le Dîner en Blanc takes place in Sacramento, the state capital of California for a third year in a row. For this edition, the hosts are adding a little twist with a contest appealing to their guests’ fashion sense. During the evening, a jury will elect "The Most Elegant Couple" of the night. The grand prize? A dinner for two at Echo & Rig Restaurant plus two tickets for the Fleetwood Mac concert. Ladies and gentlemen, be fashionable, original but mostly be elegant!
October 7 - Le Dîner en Blanc in New Orleans
Take 2 for the 6th edition of Le Dîner en Blanc in New Orleans! Initially scheduled to take place last May, tropical storm Alberto was looming and was certainly going to be a killjoy. Following the adage that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, the hosting team decided to postpone to a later date. It is now on October 7 that nearly 4,500 guests will gather at a new secret location.
October 13 - 2 events: Orange County, California and Brisbane, Queensland
