Le Dîner en Blanc Returns to Jersey City for 2024

There’s much to love about summer in Hoboken + Jersey City: free outdoor movies, fitness classes, festivals, and activities abound. If you have a penchant for pop-up picnics and summer fashion, though, there’s an August event you won’t want to miss. Le Dîner en Blanc, the popular Parisian-inspired outdoor dinner party characterized by its famous all-white dress code, will take place in Jersey City for a third year in a row on Thursday, August 16th. Read on for what we know about Jersey City’s third Le Dîner en Blanc.

About Le Dîner en Blanc
Le Dîner en Blanc began in Paris in 1988 when François Pasquier, returning from a long stay abroad, had the idea to gather friends for a picnic. As the number of guests grew, he decided to hold the dinner in a public space and ask everyone to dress in all white to easily recognize one another. The event was such a success that they all agreed to repeat the experience the following year. Each year, the evening gathered more and more friends. Over the years, Le Dîner en Blanc has become one of the most sought-after culinary events around the world. What was once a ‘friends and word-of-mouth only’ event has grown into an international sensation celebrated on six continents.

In 2022, Jersey City welcomed its very own Le Dîner en Blanc for the first time, thanks to local hosts Art House Productions in partnership with the City of Jersey City and The Office of Cultural Affairs. Two events later, Le Dîner en Blanc is back in Jersey City for its third year. To participate in the 2024 event, happening on August 16th, guests must be invited via the hosts’ network or get on the waiting list via the official website.
