A GLOBALLY-recognised dining experience is set to have its Ballarat debut later this year.<\/p>\n
Launched in Paris in 1988, the city will be the first in regional Victoria to host the event called Le D\u00eener en Blanc.<\/p>\n
All-white clothing and outside dining is key to the event which is regularly held in more than 100 locations around the world.<\/p>\n
City of Ballarat mayor Cr Des Hudson said it will allow the region\u2019s hospitality-providers to shine.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know that Ballarat has become a major destination for food and drink lovers and hosting an event like this is only going to enhance our status as a foodie destination,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will prove to be another major event on our calendar and will follow hot on the heels of the Ballarat Begonia Festival.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to see the crowds of people dressed brilliantly in their white clothes, having a great time, wherever that may be.\u201d<\/p>\n
The event\u2019s location is always kept secret and will be revealed to attendees closer to the date.<\/p>\n
Le D\u00eener en Blanc was secured as part of the Ballarat Event Strategy Acquisition Program.<\/p>\n
Sara Walsh, one of the Ballarat hosts of the event said the city was an ideal place to introduce the Le D\u00eener en Blanc.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis chic and elegant affair is the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the amazing and talented local producers and the thriving arts and hospitality community that continues to grow in the region,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to Ballarat\u2019s historical significance, there\u2019s so much more that this beautiful city has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tickets for Le D\u00eener en Blanc will be limited with registration available via a waiting list on the event\u2019s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
