Le Dîner en Blanc is an event that, even by staying home, transports us into another world. The sea of ​​people all adorned in white creates images that are instantly ‘Instagram-able’. Meeting new people or reuniting with longtime friends.  Getting all dressed up to attend a dinner à la française where conversation and champagne are essential.

Nichol Turner and Gill Boyd, hosts of Le Dîner en Blanc in Calgary, are ecstatic that Le Dîner en Blanc is returning to the city, and that this year's event will help the local economy: “This chic and elegant affair seems perfect to encourage people to shop local.
