Celebrating its tenth anniversary on November 4, 2023, the event promises an evening unlike any other, filling a secret yet undoubtedly spectacular location with a sea of white-clad guests. Here’s what you need to know about the magic that is Le Diner en Blanc Brisbane 2023.
Le Diner en Blanc is not for the faint-hearted or fashionably late. To join this prestigious event, you need an invite from a previous attendee or must secure a spot on the currently open waiting list. Once you’re in, prepare for a night of elegance with like-minded connoisseurs of the finer things in life. And remember, showing up in a simple white sheet will not do. This is an affair that demands style and panache.
Brisbane's crème de la crème will dress in their finest white attire to indulge in an evening replete with fine dining and live music. However, don't expect everything to be handed to you on a silver platter. Guests are expected to bring their own tables, two white chairs, picnic baskets, glassware, white tablecloths, and dinnerware. If you're not in the mood for packing, you can also opt for a catered picnic. For drinks, choose between wine or champagne from the event's e-store, or bring your own non-alcoholic beverages. It’s about being self-sufficient, yet extravagantly so.
The allure of Le Diner en Blanc lies in its enigmatic location, revealed only at the last minute. Previous venues have included Eagle Farm Racecourse, New Farm Park, Roma Street Parklands, and the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens. So, as you prepare for this year’s event, part of the excitement is wondering where you'll end up sipping champagne and nibbling on gourmet bites this time around.
Le Diner en Blanc is more than just a dinner event; it’s an experience. Each year, thousands of guests from diverse backgrounds converge for a chic picnic, conducted with utmost decorum and elegance. Over the years, the event has grown from a small Parisian gathering to a global phenomenon, still maintaining the glamor and etiquette of high French society. Participants leave the event not just with a satiated palate, but also with the joy of having been part of something truly extraordinary.
