Diner en Blanc is not an ordinary event. The evening takes place in a public place that is often very busy and not designed for such an occasion. It must be carefully controlled for everyone’s safety and so that the city will allow us to hold future editions. Everyone plays their part!

Memberships and/or tickets are not transferable, according to Diner en Blanc policy.

Tickets to the event are not refundable or transferable. Catered meals and beverages are likewise not transferrable.

Each departure point has a set number of spaces; once full, you will need to select a different location.

This gets to the core of Dîner en Blanc: this unforgettable event is all about sharing. Tickets are sold in pairs, i.e. a table for two. So bring a guest with whom you can revel in the elegance and celebrate by your side!

You will be able to change the name of your guest up until a week before the event.

This is part of the magic of Diner en Blanc! The location is secret and revealed only upon your arrival.

A square folding-table and two white chairs; a white picnic basket and/or bag including a gourmet meal for two, a white tablecloth and cloth-napkins, cutlery, dishware, and glassware; and a garbage bag. Since this is a sustainable event, guests are not permitted to bring one-time or disposable cups and plates. Please note that handy checklists will be available to all guests.

Every attendee must dress elegantly and entirely in pure white - head to toe. Think chic, sophisticated, and festive! Outfits must be all white, and accessories should also be white or metallic (like silver o platinum).
Avoid casual clothing like T-shirts, shorts, or sneakers. Instead, opt for cocktail or fancy attire. Feel free to get creative with hats, headpieces, or stylish accents — just keep everything white!
Note guests who are obviously not keeping with the spirit of Dîner en Blanc wearig, for example, blue jeans, black shorts or red ball caps may be prevented from attending the event and/or lose their membership
status for a minumum of 1 year.

We find rollerboard carry-on suitcases are ideal for stacking and bringing your entire picnic and they slide easily under the table, keeping aisles free and open for people to pass through. Folding luggage trolleys work a treat to carry your table and chairs. Note: All of your belongings must fit under your table. Aisles between table rows must be
kept clear and open for passage for safety reasons and in accordance with city of Los Angeles Fire laws. We strongly advise against trolleys or wagons that do not fold. Any trolleys, wagons, etc. that block the aisles may be removed by security and may not be returned.

Diner en Blanc is a rain or shine event. In case of rain, guests
should remember to bring a white or transparent raincoat, poncho and/or umbrella. If public safety becomes an issue (due to thunderstorms, hurricanes, tornados, etc), local Hosts may decide to postpone the event until the following day or cancel in case of severe safety risks.

The global theme for 2026 is Bistro parisien, so dress for Paris!

The only way to ensure you will be sitting next to your friends is to select the same Departure Point and Table Leader when registering

Tickets must be purchased in advance. Diner en Blanc requires some commitments from attendees as a lot needs to be planned ahead: attire, food and company. Once you've booked your tickets, you can extend the
invitation to up to 10 friends to join you for an unforgettable night of elegance, celebration, and community!

Your meeting time on the day of the event may be as early as 4:45pm and, in accordance with city of Los Angeles noise ordinance laws, the event ends promptly at 10pm when you will pack up your picnic and leave the venue
as clean as when you found it – NO trash is to be left behind.

We always do our best to select departure points that have nearby parking, but encourage guests to use public transportation or car services so these parking areas are not overwhelmed and guests can leave the departure points at the correct time to arrive at the event with plenty of time to enjoy.

In accordance with City of Los Angeles laws, all attendees must be 21 or older and must present ID to confirm their age. No one under 21 will be
admitted.

Dîner en Blanc Los Angeles is designed by humans, for humans. Though we love pets and we have our own, or they have us, this kind of event may be stressful to them due to noise and crowds. Should, for documented reason, you require a service animal, please email us at
[email protected].

Yes, you are welcome to bring your own gourmet meal.

No. In accordance with city of Los Angeles alcohol laws, outside alcohol is strictly prohibited. If you wish to enjoy wine or champagne with your meal, it must be pre-ordered and picked up on-site. Make life easy on yourself so you don't hav eto carry heavy bottles that will be warm when you get there. We keep all white, rosé and sparkling wines on ice until you pick them up, keeping your bag lighter and your bubbles unshaken. Any outside alcohol that is noticed by security, your leaders or your hosts will be confiscated and not returned.

Yes! We have a very limited number of
tickets that offer you the ability to travel light and breezy. This
package gives you 2 seats at a long table that you will share with other Dîner en Blanc guests. Note, this package gives you seats at table that will NOT be set up in advance. You must still provide your own place settings, meal and beverages. The table and chairs package is available in only certain groups and if you purchase it you cannot change
Table or Group Leader nor can you have friends under another table leader join you. Your Table Group under your Table Leader that meets at your departure point will all sit at the same long table and this table cannot be moved nor can people from another group join it. If you and your friends want to sit together, you must all choose the same table leader - sorry, but we can make no exceptions.
