Break Out Your White Linens: Dîner en Blanc Announces its Return This Summer With A Great Gatsby Theme
If there’s one event that generates buzz in Philly, it’s Diner en Blanc. What originally started in 1988 in Paris made its debut in Philly back in 2012 and has been growing ever since. This year’s Diner en Blanc is slated for August 21st and will incorporate the 100th Anniversary of The Great Gatsby and Art Deco. “Dîner en Blanc Philadelphia guests will enjoy an evening of elegance, community, and Jazz Age flair,” organizers state.
“We are thrilled to bring Dîner en Blanc back to Philadelphia for its 13th year on August 21st. We have also added the theme “100 Years of Gatsby” to this year’s event. 1925 was a seminal year with the publication of The Great Gatsby (while Fitzgerald was living in Paris) and the Paris Exposition of Decorative Arts, which launched “Art Deco” style and introduced the world to The Charleston and Josephine Baker. We are excited to bring Jazz Age entertainment to this year’s event, and we invite all of our guests to escape into the past and celebrate the Roaring 20s with their attire and decor on August 21st.” Natanya DiBona, Co-Host, Le Dîner en Blanc Philadelphia
