Is this the next Fyre Festival? The Grand White has promised events in eight US cities for nearly three years—and ticket holders want their money back.
—an event where patrons don all white and gather at a secret outdoor location for a lavish picnic-style party. A federal contractor in DC, Rogers describes herself as “the event coordinator” for her friend group, and was excited to catch the South African event series on its first-ever US tour.
“COVID-19 Notice: The event is postponed until event bans are lifted by the state government. The rescheduled event date is to be confirmed in future. We cannot confirm the date due to constant changes emanating from the pandemic.” At the time of this story’s publication, individuals can still purchase passes in select cities like Atlanta, Houston, and DC for 2023 via online ticketing platform NuTickets. Premium seats near an undetermined stage can go for $110 a pop, while a full table is over $720.
No surprise for party concept whose waitlist stretches into the thousands, Le Diner en Blanc has inspired a lot of knockoffs—some more literal than others. There are “white-out” beach bashes, an invite-only “Diner en Noir” series, and even “Diner en Blancs” that are not, in fact,Diner. And then there’s the Grand White, an entity that’s increasingly confused with the long-running event series.
When the Grand White recently canceled in Philly “until event bans are lifted by the state government,” Davis was incredulous. “I just got a laugh out of that because that’s obviously not the case.” In 2021, Le Diner en Blanc Philadelphia hosted an outdoor gathering that was capped at 50 percent—only 3,000 people—and plans to host another in August.
“My husband and I own a small business so we were hoping to network,” says Thorne, who says she was never notified that the event was rescheduled. “ I was convincing people to buy that table out so we can sit together.”
