Montreal’s spontaneous Dîner en Blanc is fast approaching for its 11th annual elegant supper dressed in white.

The secretive, world-renowned dinner has revealed the date for this year’s super as Phase 1 is officially underway.

The secretive supper works in phases as guests won’t find out where the event takes place until the night of the dinner.

The rules for the event are quite strict: All guests must dress fashionably in white, head-to-toe. No ivory, no off-white, no beige. All white.

Once guests are registered for the event, their attendance becomes mandatory, rain or shine. Guests are all required to bring a table, chairs, and a tablecloth, all white of course.

This year’s elegant white supper will take place on Thursday, August 22.

Guests won’t know where they’re heading until the last second. Previous locations around Montreal included the Old Port, the Place des Festivals at Quartier des spectacles, and l’Esplanade at the Olympic Stadium.

On the night of the event, more than 5,500 participants show up at any of the 30 meeting points scattered throughout the city (meeting points will be revealed as the event draws closer). Guests then converge to the secret spot, keeping the location a mystery until the very last second.
