Yahoo: 20,000 people expected for biggest Diner en Blanc event in Paris

May 29, 2018

On Sunday night, at an undisclosed location, a curious phenomenon will take place for the 30th year: an army of beautiful people, all dressed in white, will turn an iconic space in Paris into an impromptu outdoor picnic. Only this year, the guest list is its biggest and most international yet, with 20,000 people from around the world participating in the exclusive event. 

It's a milestone anniversary: Diner en Blanc will fete its 30th year of bringing thousands of people together in what could be described as the original flash mob and pop-up concept.

Unlike years past, however, in which the Paris guest list is a tightly guarded, invitation-only group of participants -- there is no waiting list -- this year organizers have exceptionally opened the Parisian edition to international guests. 

Of the 20,000 participants who RSVP'd this year, 5,000 people representing 35 nationalities will be flying in from around the world this year.
