Diner en Blanc returns to Boston
Every summer in Boston, guided by a team of more than 50 volunteers, thousands of people dressed entirely in white descend on a landmark public space with everything they need for an elegant soirée in tow, including folding table and chairs, gourmet picnic food, fine china, silverware, and tablecloth. Over the course of the evening, the guests eat and celebrate amid live music and dancing. Many spend weeks in advance planning their menus and the white ensemble. The event offers the perfect occasion for Boston to express a bold sense of fashion and avant-garde design style; the often elaborate and creative outfits, fantastical hats, and decorative table settings are always a fabulous spectacle.
