Launched in Paris in 1988 by François Pasquier and a handful of friends, Le Dîner en Blanc has become a worldwide epicurean phenomenon. In June 2018, Le Diner en Blanc de Paris marked its 30th anniversary. A record 17,000 guests from Paris and around the world gathered at the Esplanade des Invalides to celebrate this historic moment.  

Today, Le Dîner en Blanc is annually held in over 80 cities in 30 countries and has gained well over 130,000 new friends worldwide. Each event is headed by passionate local organizers who fell in love with the concept and who wanted to bring it to their city, adding their own local flair while respecting the event's core values.

Along with Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Montreal, Toronto, Washington DC, Sydney, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Grand Rapids will proudly host its first Le Dîner en Blanc in 2020! The dream team is made up of the following devoted hosts: Angela Nelson, Tarona Guy, and Kristian Grant to whom the exciting world of event-planning holds no secrets!
