2016, 5-Year Anniversary Event Sold Out in Record Time!
For the third year in a row, the Dîner en Blanc - Chicago event is sold out - with this year setting a record of just over an hour! We look forward to celebrating with you and toasting our 5-years in this great city.
For those who were unable to register for this years event, there's always hope something may still pop up - last minute business trip, family unexpectedly in town....So make sure to monitor our social media accounts to see if anyone may be looking for a good home for their tickets. Just remember, membership is not transferable so you would have to work with the rightful member registered in the system for e-store purchases, etc.
See you all in 22 days!
Cheers!
Roger, James, Lauren, and Annette
