Just a reminder that it's not too late to get your tickets for this year's Le Diner en Blanc to be held on November 19.
The venue is still secret; this is the fifth dinner in Canberra, with previous events being held at the National Arboretum and Reconciliation Place.
Each year, Le Diner en Blanc is staged in a new secret location, with guests meeting at the assigned departure point and transported to the site.
Launched in Paris in 1988 by Franois Pasquier and a handful of friends, Le Diner en Blanc de Paris marked its 30th anniversary in 2018 with a record 17,000 guests from Paris and around the world.
You can register at dinerenblanc.com/canberra. Tickets are $68pp. It is self-catered but pre-ordered picnic basket options are also available. Wine and champagne are also available to pre-order once registration has been confirmed.
