Thousands of guests will descend on a mystery location dressed head-to-toe in white.
Dust off your finest white outfit because Dîner en Blanc Melbourne is back for another year.
Dîner en Blanc Melbourne returns on 28 February 2026, transforming an undisclosed city location into a massive open-air dining experience. Dîner en Blanc keeps its venue under wraps until the night itself, with guests meeting at assigned departure points before being guided to the secret spot by volunteers. Everyone rocks up dressed entirely in white, sets up their own tables and chairs, and settles in for an evening of food, champagne, music and dancing.

The 2026 edition will feature catering from Curtis Stone Events, champagne and sparkling from Moët & Chandon, and wines from Mornington Peninsula winery Ten Minutes by Tractor. Some departure points will include reserved seating as part of the ticket, plus the option to pre-order a curated meal for those who want a more streamlined experience.
The event first landed in Melbourne back in 2015 and has become a fixture on the city’s summer calendar. Globally, Dîner en Blanc takes place in more than 120 cities across 40 countries, all following the same format of mystery locations, white dress codes and communal dining.
BYO alcohol isn’t permitted under Victorian liquor licensing, so all drinks need to be pre-ordered through the official e-store. Non-alcoholic beverages can be brought from home. The event operates on a leave-no-trace policy, with guests expected to pack up and return the space to its original state at the end of the night.
Registration for Phase 3 is open now at melbourne.dinerenblanc.com, allowing punters to set up an account ahead of ticket releases.
