Attendees typically bring their own chairs, tables and food and Diner en Blanc is considered a chic and fun pop-up event that remains to be one of the best-kept “viral” secrets.

“We are excited to create an exceptional experience with Cîroc for the Diner en Blanc after party. We believe this partnership will go a long way to create new exciting experiences for our consumers and bringing out the spirit of magical entertainment,” said Chepkorir Koech, EABL Reserve Brand Manager.

Bystanders witnessed groups of guests all dressed in white gathering all across the city. The evening was filled with visually breath-taking moments including the waving of a cloth napkin to mark the beginning of the dinner and the lighting of sparklers to let guests know they are now free to mingle and dance.

At the end of the evening, guests packed up all of their belongings, picked up all their litter and headed back into the night, leaving behind no sign of their elegant revelry.
