TORONTO, Aug. 30, 2013 /CNW/ - The global phenomenon, Dîner en Blanc, was a tremendous success last night in Toronto's downtown. Over 1,600 people attended Toronto's second edition of the secret event that has become famous worldwide for its spectacular visuals of guests dressed in white from head to toe.
"Toronto's enthusiastic embrace of Dîner en Blanc is a testament to our unparalleled passion for both food and fashion," says Nicholas Wong host of Toronto's Dîner en Blanc. "Each year, we see more and more Torontonians join the elegant white wave and share in the magic of the evening. Our amazing success over the last two years is the result of a truly collaborative effort from volunteers and participants to make the evening a night to remember. I am honoured to be a part of such an original concept and look forward to growing the event and making it an even greater success in 2014."

About Dîner en Blanc
The worldwide phenomenon known as Dîner en Blanc will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year! Launched by François Pasquier and a handful of friends in 1988, the Paris Dîner en Blanc now attracts more than 10,000 people each year. What began as a "friends and word-of-mouth only" event has grown into an international epicurean phenomenon on five continents. While the technology behind the event may have changed over the years, the principles fuelling this fantastic event have not: diners continue to gather at a secret location for the sole purpose of sharing a high-quality meal with good friends in one of their city's most beautiful locations. Dîner en Blanc International, based in Montreal, is responsible for developing this secret posh picnic in over 40 cities by the end of 2013. Each event is headed by passionate local organizers who fell in love with the concept and wanted to bring it to their city, giving this rendezvous a local flair.
