Mum’s the word at the third annual Le Diner en Blanc. A exclusive dinner party thrown in locations all over the world, this hush-hush event reveals its location to guests mere minutes before the places are set. A tradition that began in Paris 30 years ago has traveled to the Holy City, drawing hundreds of Charlestonians dolled up in all white with picnic baskets in tow. The al fresco meal begins with the wave of napkin and ends with the blare of trumpets, when revelers pack up the evidence of a good time and vanish into the night. Read the instructions closely—not an occasion to buck tradition, every detail must be just-so. As this is one of the hottest tickets of the year, be sure to register now to get on the waiting list. Location to be announced. Thursday, evening. $52. charleston.dinerenblanc.com
