First Edition of the Most Sought-after Secret Event on September 26, 2021!

Greensboro, July 28, 2021 – From global phenomenon to highly sought-after “secret”, Greensboro will host its very first Le Dîner en Blanc on September 26, 2021 in one of the city’s best-known public spaces. To participate in this first edition, people can sign up on waiting list by clicking on the Register tab.

With international travel mostly being put on hold for this year, Le Dîner en Blanc will send you on an uplifting vacation in your own city, thus making you feel like you are on vacation in the south of France! We are closely monitoring and following all the recommendations made by the NCDHHS and the State, on the Covid-19 pandemic. The festive and community feel of this long-standing French picnic tradition will not change.  And per tradition, the venue will remain secret until the last minute.

Le Dîner en Blanc is an event that, even by staying home, transports us into another world. The sea of ​​people all adorned in white creates images that are instantly ‘Instagram-able’. Meeting new people or reuniting with long-time friends - dearly missed during quarantine. Getting all dressed up to attend a dinner à la française where conversation and champagne are essential.

“We felt Greensboro was primed for such a dazzling event as an increase of interest in fine living has increased over the years,” says Shayla, co-host of Le Dîner en Blanc in Greensboro, who has been working in the Event Industry for over 20 years and hopes to make this very first edition a success that will pave the way towards establishing a long-standing tradition.

In essence, Le Dîner en Blanc promotes friendship, elegance and gallantry.  Over the course of the evening, guests experience the beauty and value of one their city’s public spaces by participating in the unexpected.

To maintain its uniqueness as well as staying true to tradition of Le Dîner en Blanc, guests must observe certain requirements and follow a few key rules:
