Yesterday evening, over on the decks of Canada Place – Dîner en Blanc.
.
Just up harbour at CRAB Park – the first-ever Ce Soir Noir.
Or as The Sun cleverly described the two: Black and White and Bread All Over. But in my opinion, heh, CRAB took the cake:

One of the biggest differences in the two events, in addition to colour and demographics, was how the respective crowds arrived:

Something never seen before: a playground full of kids, all in black.
.
Bravo to the creators and organizers. Just the right amount of people, creativity and civility.

Easy prediction: Ce Soir Noir will become a global complement to Dîner en Blanc.
Danger: It will become so popular, it too may have to limit capacity.
And then: La Fête Gris.
























One the other hand, one should probably be thankfull the diner en blanc crowd prefer a transportation mode not creating parking problem or transforming the picnic site into a bike parking:
