Once again, the elegant white wave of dinner guests will invade one of Sacramento’s most prestigious public locations. For this 3rd edition, more than 1,700 revelers will descend on a new and secret location.

To maintain the uniqueness of Dîner en Blanc as well as staying true to tradition, guests must observe certain requirements and follow a few key rules: Registration to participate happens by invitation in three stages:

• Phase 1 is for members who attended the previous year;
• Phase 2 is for new members who are referred by Phase I attendees; Phase 3 is for people who sign up on the waiting list via the official website:sacramento.dinerenblanc.com/register.

Once confirmed, guest participation becomes mandatory regardless of weather conditions.  This is a rain or shine event.

• Dress code: elegant and white only. Originality is encouraged and attire should be stylish and tasteful.
• Table setting: white
• Champagne and/or wine. (Beer and hard liquor are prohibited)
  As per California law, guests cannot bring their own alcohol. Those wishing to enjoy wine or Champagne can select from a variety of pre-sale options through the Dîner en Blanc’s e-store. Guests are welcome to bring their own non-alcoholic beverage.
• To ensure that the location is kept undisclosed until last minute, guests meet at assigned departure locations and are escorted by Dîner en Blanc volunteers.
• In order to leave the event location as clean as when they arrived, guests are required to leave with all their belongings, leftovers and litter.

Dîner en Blanc is a participatory event! Guests must bring:

• A table, two white chairs, table settings and table decor.
