Diner en Blanc Is Arriving Calgary
Global dining phenomenon, Diner en Blanc is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year. An event
originated from Paris by Francois Pasquier, this tres chic picnic attracts more
than 10,000 culinary culture enthusiasts to dress in white and converge upon a
secret outdoor location each year. Through the “word-of-mouth” tactic, this
tradition has spread across 5 continents and 40 different cities, and is now
finally arriving Calgary!


Hosted by Cory Edward,
President/Partner of Empire West Investment and celebrity artist/painter Jason
Gogo, Calgary’s version of Diner en Blanc will guarantee more than 1,400 people
to attend, rain or sunshine. The idea to host
Calgary’s very own Diner en Blanc came about when both gentlemen were inspired
by the same event hosted in Vancouver in 2012. “It will be an engaging and
interactive dinning experience, and an event that will let us get away from our
fast paced lives and spice things up a little” - said Edward. “Especially
despite all that had happened (Calgary flood) recently, Diner en Blanc is also
a time to celebrate Calgarian spirits.”


The secret location of Diner en
Blanc Calgary will not be revealed until one hour prior to the event. Guests
are asked to meet in one of five starting locations around the city, which is
headed by a “table leader”. There
will be three “major acts” during the dinning experience: 1) White napkin
ceremony where thousands of guests are asked to wave their white napkins together
to initiate the start of Diner en Blanc. 2) The dinner act that allows guests
to experience the essence of French culture and 3) A closing act which consists
of music and entertainment. Edward said he is very excited to showcase the city
of Calgary in a worldwide scale. The hosts are very passionate about this event, and are expecting it to continue to grow next year.
