The event is based on a 30-year tradition that began in Paris when a gentleman wanted to entertain a group of friends he hadn’t seen in a while. He selected a secret location and told them to meet at a predetermined place and to wear white so that they could find each other.
The event has been replicated around the world in as many as 70 cities. In Paris, the annual event now draws 12,000 people.
This is how it works. Guests bring their own picnic food, soft drinks or wine (no hard liquor), white plates, flatware, white napkins, glasses, and white table decorations. Sister Cities Yorktown provides tables, chairs, white tablecloths and entertainment.
The location remains a secret to ticketholders until two days in advance. That is part of the fun. And it is why it is essential we have an email address.
Proceeds support Sister Cities Yorktown projects, most importantly, student and citizen exchanges with our twin village of Port-Vendres, France, and grants to York County Schools.
