First Edition of the Most Sought-after Secret Event
From global phenomenon to highly sought-after “secret”, Dîner en Blanc will take over one of San José’s spaces on March 21, 2015 for the first ever refine pop-up epicurean event.
Over 100,000 foodies and cultural enthusiasts around the world have already embrace this unique event. As stated very eloquently by the New York Times: “There are picnics and there are Picnics”. This très chic picnic is equal parts mystery tour, pop-up feast and je ne sais quoi! Launched in Paris more than 25 years ago by François Pasquier and a handful of friends, Dîner en Blanc Paris now attracts nearly 15,000 people each year. What began as a “friends and word-of-mouth only” event has grown into an international epicurean sensation in over 50 cities in more than 20 countries. While the technology behind the event may has changed over the years, the principles fuelling this fantastic event have not: guests continue to gather at a secret location for the sole purpose of sharing a gourmet meal with good friends in one of their city’s most beautiful locations.
“We felt San Jose was primed for such a dazzling event as an increase of interest in fine living has been noted over the years, plus the opportunity to offer something different and exciting in our market ,” says Laura Miranda co-host of the San Jose Costa Rica’s Dîner en Blanc, who has been working in the marketing industry for over 10 years and hopes to make this very first edition a success that will pave the way towards establishing a long-standing tradition.
In essence, Dîner en Blanc promotes friendship, elegance and gallantry. Over the course of the evening, the guests enhance the function and value of one of their city’s signature public spaces by participating in the unexpected. “Costa Rica’s culture is a reflection of the core values of Dîner en Blanc,” say Sandy Safi and Aymeric Pasquier, Cofounders of Dîner en Blanc International. “We feel that this first edition will be a true success in bringing people of San José together and highlighting the beauty of their city.”
