Thank You

In September this year Brisbane held Australia’s first Diner en Blanc.  

Diner En Blanc is a surprise pop up picnic event where friends and family arrive simultaneously at a secret location to share an evening of food, wine and fun.  All guests dress completely in white and bring along picnic baskets, white folding tables, chairs and dinner ware.  The 2012 Dîner en Blanc saw Brisbane's event at Southbank on the lawn in the Cultural Forecourt where guests enjoyed the beautiful backdrop of the Brisbane River and city skyline.  

To everyone who joined us in 2012, we would like to thank you for taking part in Brisbane's event.  It truly was a memorable occasion and so wonderful to see everyone get into the spirit on the night.  

The concept for this event was discovered while organising Brisbane’s UR{BNE} Festival 2012, which celebrates our city by encouraging community and cultural activity in public spaces. Originally only a few hundred guests were anticipated at this year’s event, but we quickly increased this to 1,000 when interest seemed to peak. In the final weeks the waiting list increased to 6,800 blowing away all our expectations! We are so amazed by the enthusiasm and interest shown by thousands of Brisbane’s citizens.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful Partners, ABC Brisbane 612, the Queensland Government through Events Queensland and GH Mumm Champagne, who took a great chance with this event, and without them this event would not have been possible.  Also a very big thank you to our caterers, suppliers, support groups, media agency and volunteers for their commitment and passion.  

We are now working on a way to increase the numbers for next year’s event, to bring you an even bigger Diner en Blanc experience! We’re particularly looking forward to choosing the next secret location. We hope to see you again next year.  If you would like to attend the 2013 event, make sure you Register to be in with a chance  You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter to find out important information or view videos and look through our photo gallery.
