Time to get your all-white attire ready, Victoria!
Victoria’s biggest “chic picnic”, Dîner en Blanc Victoria, is finally returning after a two year hiatus due to COVID-19.
The rain or shine picnic event is held annually, with the secret location of the event revealed to thousands of eager participants shortly before the event.
Once the location has been revealed, attendees dressed in head to toe white (no ivory, no off-white, and no beige), meet at the location for a giant picnic in a public space.
The event focuses on the elegance and glamour of high French society, with wine, champagne and entertainment acts.
Attendees must bring their own foldable table, chairs, picnic basket and food. Champagne and wine are the only alcoholic beverages permitted at the event.
Although a date has not been announced, and the location is always announced the day of, previous locations include Centennial Square in 2017, St. Anne’s Academy in 2018 and Victoria Harbour in 2019.
Dîner en Blanc began in Paris over 30 years ago. Since then, the event has held secret, posh picnics in close to 80 cities in 30 countries around the world, totalling over 130,000 participants.
The largest and most internationally recognized event, however, remains the original Paris event.
Registration for the event has not yet begun, but you can submit your email on their website here to be added to a waitlist.
