Pride En Blanc 2nd Annual All-White Commemorative Fundraiser

Step into an afternoon of elegance, community, and celebration at Pride En Blanc, Newark's premier all-white Pride experience inspired by the spirit of Dîner en Blanc.

Hosted by the Office of the Mayor LGBTQ Concerns Advisory Commission, Pride En Blanc is made possible through the support of our valued community partners, including the City of Newark Division of Arts & Cultural Affairs, Newark Arts Council, Partnership West, Inc. (PWI), Newark Symphony Hall, Femme Curator Arts, Groove Theory Fitness, New Jersey Black Pride, Lovelee Wine, Tiana Marie Creations, and RAW Events.

Guests are invited to gather in all-white attire for a unique communal dining experience where creativity, connection, and Pride take center stage.

This is not a traditional gala. It is an interactive experience.

Each guest is responsible for bringing their own beautifully curated tablescape, including:

• White table linens
• Place settings
• Decorations and centerpieces
• Food and picnic-style dining experience

Think elevated picnic meets Pride celebration.

Beverages will be provided by the venue.

Whether you come as a couple, a group of friends, an organization, or a table host, we encourage you to create a stunning all-white setting and make the afternoon your own.

Throughout the event, guests will enjoy:

• Live entertainment
• Community recognition
• Networking opportunities
• Music and celebration
• Pride Month festivities
• A beautiful collective all-white experience

Prizes may be awarded for the most creative and visually stunning table presentations.

As part of the afternoon's celebration, we will proudly honor several outstanding leaders and champions of our community, including our Mayor Ras J. Baraka, Newark Public Schools Superintendent Roger León, Citi Medina, Felicia Holt, and additional honorees to be announced.

Prizes may be awarded for the most creative and visually stunning table presentations.

Proceeds support LGBTQ+ community programming, advocacy efforts, cultural initiatives, and year-round activities led by the Office of the Mayor LGBTQ Concerns Advisory Commission.
