Le Diner en Blanc Celebrates 10th Anniversary at Cooper's Park [PHOTOS]

It is time for a milestone! The much beloved annual fete Le Diner en Blanc was introduced to Vancouver in 2012 by the team at The Social Concierge. From that moment on, sophistication, creativity, and culinary excellence have been a yearly staple. Friendships have been made, relationships deepened, and thousands upon thousands of pictures have been taken.

10th Anniversary in Vancouver

The 2023 edition of Diner en Blanc was held under the Cambie Street Bridge in Cooper’s Park. According to TSC’s Tyson Villeneuve, the location has been four years in the making and has the capacity to host 2,500 persons. “There is so much to experience at one of the most exciting locations so far. Friendships, food, fashion, and culture all blossomed this year, and our jaws dropped on several occasions by the splendour and imagination witnessed. Le Dîner en Blanc has so much meaning to everyone, and it is the creativity, dedication, and elegance of guests that make all the hard work worth it.”

A Special Relationship with the City

As someone who has attended for many years, I can say that it is the guests that make Le Dîner en Blanc truly unique and unforgettable – from the stunning flower arrangements to the immaculate tablescapes, the creative flair of the fashion, and the happiness of everyone continues to delight year after year. The sharing of new and old traditions is what Le Dîner en Blanc is all about.

The Social Concierge shares, “Le Dîner en Blanc would not be what it is without the gracious support of our partners, culinary partners, producers, performers, and the countless volunteers who help in making the event spectacular. From our title partners BMO, Concord Pacific, WMB Insurance, and The BMW Store to the amazing food and beverage teams at Peake of Catering, Taittinger, Groupe Dandurand, Santa Margherita Wines, Evolve Wines, Disaronno, Red Bull, and Sake Bomb. A special thank you to the national partner’s JP Chenet and Boursin and our progressive and engaged supporters, the Alliance Francaise Vancouver, A&B Party Time, Loungeworks, LuxAffairs, Mine and Yours, and Whistler Water Water; thank you! We also owe a great thank you to our Group and Table Leaders for sharing their time with us and bringing a truly special group of people together to celebrate this magical evening!”
