SUMMARY:Dîner en Blanc Birmingham Returns September 12 with Chrisette Michele and Chef Lamar Lockett for an Elegant Evening Under the Stars
DESCRIPTION:BIRMINGHAM\, Ala. – One of Birmingham’s most anticipated social experiences is making its return this fall as Dîner en Blanc Birmingham celebrates its 7th edition on Saturday\, September 12\, 2026. Once again\, more than 1\,000 guests dressed entirely in white will gather at a secret location for an unforgettable evening inspired by the elegance and traditions of Paris. \n \nThis year’s celebration continues to raise the bar with the announcement that Grammy Award-winning singer Chrisette Michele will perform live while acclaimed Birmingham chef joins the experience as the featured culinary talent. Together\, the two additions promise to make the 2026 edition one of the most memorable in the event’s history. \n \nKnown for showcasing Birmingham’s culinary excellence\, organizers have selected Chef Lamar Lockett to help create an elevated dining experience that reflects this year’s international theme\, “Une Soirée Parisienne – La Belle Époque.” The theme celebrates one of Paris’ most elegant eras\, encouraging guests to embrace timeless all-white fashion while enjoying exceptional cuisine\, conversation\, and entertainment beneath the stars. \nOne of the traditions that makes Dîner en Blanc unlike any other event is the mystery surrounding its location. Guests first gather at designated departure points before being escorted by volunteers to the undisclosed venue. Throughout the evening\, signature moments such as the iconic Napkin Wave and the sparkling sendoff create an atmosphere of celebration that has helped make the event a global phenomenon. \nParticipants are asked to follow several long-standing traditions\, including wearing an all-white ensemble and bringing white tables\, chairs\, linens\, dinnerware\, and décor. Guests may either pack their own gourmet picnic or reserve catered meals and rental equipment through the event’s online store. In keeping with its French heritage\, wine and Champagne are served\, while guests are also welcome to bring non-alcoholic beverages. The event also maintains a strong commitment to sustainability by asking every attendee to leave the venue exactly as they found it. \nDîner en Blanc Birmingham is hosted by Jasmine Allen\, who returns alongside Lynnette Favors to welcome guests for another year of elegance and celebration. Allen describes this year’s experience as “elegance in motion—timeless\, luminous\, and unapologetically French\,” capturing the spirit of the 2026 theme and the atmosphere guests can expect. \nOriginally launched in Paris\, Dîner en Blanc has grown into an international cultural phenomenon spanning more than 120 cities across 40 countries\, bringing communities together through fashion\, food\, entertainment\, and unforgettable shared experiences. \nGuests interested in attending are encouraged to join the Birmingham Fan List to receive updates and notification when Phase 3 registration becomes available. Additional event information\, registration details\, and event updates are available at birmingham.dinerenblanc.com.
