The wait is over. On Friday, October 24, 2025, Dallas will once again be swept into an evening of mystery, glamour, and unforgettable celebration as Diner en Blanc returns to a brand-new secret location.
More than just a dinner, Diner en Blanc is Dallas’ most enchanting social event of the year - a pop-up soirée where thousands dressed head-to-toe in chic white attire gather under the stars for a night of champagne toasts, gourmet dining, and dazzling spectacle.
From the moment guests arrive at their departure points, anticipation builds. Then, as the secret venue is revealed, the city transforms into a scene of pure magic - a sea of white unfolding into an Instagram-worthy masterpiece of elegance, style, and community.
A Theme in Full Bloom
This year’s international theme, Blooming Elegance, invites guests to step into a floral fantasy where beauty and creativity take center stage. From couture-inspired attire to whimsical tablescapes, every detail celebrates the romance of French dining and the joy of gathering with friends both old and new.
“Dallas has always embraced Diner en Blanc with passion and flair,” said Sandy Safi, President of Diner en Blanc International. “We’re thrilled to return with our talented organizing committee and can’t wait to watch the city bloom with creativity, elegance, and unforgettable memories.”
The organizing committee includes Katherine Stimson, Candice Freeman, Shayne Carter, Kyra McKoy, Judy Solomon, Rosalind Bryant, and Tanara Martin, who together promise to make this year’s soirée more spectacular than ever.
How It Works
The secret is part of the thrill as is the head-to-toe white dress code. Guests gather at meeting points across the city and are escorted by volunteers to the venue, where they set up their own chic white tablescapes. Each guest brings:
• A table, two white chairs, a white tablecloth, and two white napkins (or can purchase a ticket package with table and chairs included).
• A gourmet picnic (with proper stemware and white dinnerware) or the option to pre-order a curated basket online.
In keeping with tradition, only wine and champagne are permitted and can be pre-purchased in advance through the official e-store.
As always, Diner en Blanc emphasizes sustainability and community spirit: guests leave no trace behind, ensuring the venue remains as pristine as when they arrived.
