If this year’s Olympics made you feel like a Parisian, here’s your chance to dine like the French right here in Baltimore.

Le Diner en Blanc will hold a one-night pop-up dining event on Sept. 28. The venue will remain a secret until the last minute.

Guests will meet at the assigned departure location, where a Diner en Blanc volunteer will escort them to the mystery location.

Tickets for first-time attendees are available now; tickets for returning and sponsored guests went on sale earlier this month. 

To secure a spot, visit baltimore.dinerenblanc.com, click on “Attend Le Diner en Blanc” in the top right corner, register, and purchase a ticket.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome everyone back to Le Diner en Blanc this year,” said Toni Sandridge, co-host of Le Diner en Blanc in Baltimore, in a statement. “The energy, the excitement, and the sense of community that this event brings to the city are truly unmatched, and we can’t wait to see familiar faces and new ones alike coming together to celebrate.” 

Fellow co-host Tiffany Moody added, “This year’s event promises to be our best yet, and we’re excited to share it with everyone! With so much enthusiasm building, we strongly encourage early registration to ensure you don’t miss out on this incredible experience.”

Attendees are required to follow the dress code: all-white attire from head to toe. Guests should also bring: a table; two white chairs; a white tablecloth; and a picnic basket containing “fine food, non-alcoholic beverages, proper stemware, and white dinnerware,” according to a news release.

There will also be a catered picnic basket option for guests who do not want to pack their own. Those guests must reserve a basket online through Le Diner en Blanc’s e-store. They will pick up the basket on site.

Guests may not bring their own alcoholic beverages. They will be served French-influenced wine and/or Champagne.

Le Diner en Blanc has held events in more than 120 cities across 40 countries.
