🍷🥖🍒"Dîner en Blanc-Okanagan (White Dinner South Okanagan) was such an occasion. As walk-up guests strolled in a line from Penticton’s iconic Peach at Okanagan Lake to merge east at Okanagan Lake Park with busloads of participants arriving from other communities, the impact was audible.

"Surprised and curious onlookers captivated by the spectacle asked such questions as:
• What is happening?
• Is this a group wedding?
• Why is everyone dressed in white?
• How can I get in on this?"

Mes amis, our hearts are still so full from the absolute magic of last night.

Under the sweeping skies, the secret was finally revealed: as you all arrived at the stunning and iconic Okanagan Lake Park in Penticton.

It was an evening of pure elegance ... clinking glasses, shared laughter, and unforgettable connections made as the sun dipped below the horizon. Seeing you all come together in such beautiful harmony, dining and dancing under the stars, was truly a sight to behold.

A heartfelt thank you to every single one of you who attended and brought such incredible energy to the night. We also extend our deepest gratitude to our dedicated partners and, of course, our wonderful Title Sponsor, Bannister Ford of Penticton, for helping bring this romantic dream to life.
