Dîner en Blanc 

Dîner en Blanc returns on the evening of Friday, April 25, 2025, as a celebration of community in support of the Zilker Botanical Garden Conservancy.

About

In November 2023, the Conservancy introduced Dîner en Blanc, or “Dinner in White” to the Zilker Botanical Garden in support of our mission to cultivate community and foster lifelong learning that inspires an appreciation of the botanical world. Guests are invited to wear all white as a form of creativity and self-expression and gather in the Garden to enjoy an evening filled with good food, great friends, and fun & games while raising funds for this beloved historical garden. 

This year’s experience features:

🎶 Live Music by Marshall Hood
🍽️ Culinary Delights from Local Favorites: Michelin Star recipient Hestia, Paperboy, and El Alma.
🍾 Exclusive VIP Perks: Early access to the Blue Dot Lounge overlooking the city skyline with an oyster bar and light bites from Spread & Co. and Austin Oyster Co.
✨ Reminder: This is a 21+ event– a perfect night to get sitters! And as always, we invite you to wear all white for an evening of timeless elegance.
