Le Dîner en Blanc 2024 | All-White Dinner Party Returns in an Enchanted Forest
As the city transitions into the crisp, golden hues of early autumn, Montreal is preparing to host one of its most anticipated events of the year: Le Dîner en Blanc. Returning for its 14th edition on Friday, September 6, this annual event promises to once again captivate Montrealers with an evening of style and surprise. This year, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the charming theme of the “Enchanted Forest“.
A Global Celebration with a Local Twist
Le Dîner en Blanc is not just a local event; it’s a global phenomenon. What started in Paris over 30 years ago has grown into an international celebration, now hosted in over 120 cities across 40 countries. Montreal’s edition is one of the most eagerly awaited, consistently drawing thousands of attendees who dress in their finest white attire and gather in one of the city’s iconic public spaces. The secret location is revealed only at the last minute, adding an element of mystery and excitement to the evening.
An Enchanting Evening Awaits
This year’s theme, the “Enchanted Forest,” will be brought to life through a delightful décor. Lolitta Dandoy, renowned fashion expert and designer of Tout le monde s’habille, has been tasked with curating the evening’s aesthetic. “This event is a unique opportunity to shine with a style that’s chic, bohemian, extravagant, but above all unique and… white, of course!” Dandoy explains. Expect to see flowing dresses, lace, silver jewelry, and an overall hippy vibe that will make the evening as visually stunning as it is fun.
A Culinary Experience Like No Other
Montreal is known for its world-class cuisine, and this year’s Le Dîner en Blanc will feature a gastronomic experience to match. The event is partnering with two of the city’s most celebrated chefs: Jérôme Ferrer, head chef of the Relais & Châteaux restaurant, and Laurent Godbout, known for his innovative approach to modern Quebec cuisine.
These culinary masters will transform the traditional picnic into a high-level dining experience, offering guests a taste of Montreal’s finest flavors. For those who prefer not to bring their own meals, catered picnic baskets can be pre-ordered through Le Dîner en Blanc online boutique.
Dance the Night Away with DJ Yo-C
No Dîner en Blanc would be complete without music, and this year, DJ Yo-C will ensure the dance floor is alive with energy. A Montreal native, Yossi Ohana has made a name for himself both locally and internationally, performing alongside legends like DJ Jazzy Jeff and DJ Premier, and entertaining celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio and Bruce Willis. His presence guarantees a night filled with infectious beats and an irresistible urge to dance.
What You Need to Know about Le Dîner en Blanc
For those attending, there are a few key details to keep in mind. As always, the dress code is strictly white from head to toe. Guests must also bring their own tables, chairs, and white tablecloths. To ensure the event remains a chic and sustainable affair, all attendees are responsible for cleaning up after themselves, leaving the venue as pristine as they found it.
