Diner en Blanc painted the town this past weekend...
the color of choice was of course....
WHITE!
The event title translates in French to "Dinner in White." What began in 1988 when Francois Pasquier invited a small group of friends to meet for dinner dressed in white in Paris has grown to a world-wide phenomenon.
Pasquier asked his friends to wear white to make it easier for group members to find each other. Now, the event takes places annually across the globe in Australia, Mexico, Singapore, and the UK to name just a few locales. Participants do not know where the event's precise location will be until moments before they arrive. The requirements: bring a table and chairs and dress in all white.
Fast forward to 2024: Diner en Blanc Boston. Despite inclement weather, Diner en Blanc proved that you can't rain on this parade! As always, Diner en Blanc takes place in an iconic location and this year was no different. The location for this year's Diner en Blanc: Downtown Crossing! This was the 8th Diner en Blanc but this was the first year the event was able to gain approval for the iconic site of Downtown Crossing in Boston.
Downtown Crossing was quickly transformed by white tables and chairs and participants dressed head to toe in white. Participant had the option to choose from a variety of food and wine options when registering. In addition, participants could choose to bring their own food. Live music kept an upbeat tempo throughout the night despite the weather. Performers on stilts entertained while participants dined and danced the night away in Downtown!
