Our rich and diverse creative community makes Sacramento special

The second edition of Sacramento’s Dîner en Blanc was a truly magical evening and we extend a huge thank to the performers, artists, musicians and dancers for once again making the evening one of the most unforgettable nights Sacramento has seen.

The magic of the evening was enhanced by a showcase of fabulous Sacramento talent from the lighted #DEB hashtag constructed by Hacker Lab to the Element Brass Band who guided guests to the secret venue; from the amazing dancers, singers, and performers of the Brazilian Center, B Street Theater Troupe, Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus, soloist Angelica Whaley and the duets from The Capital Dance Project; and culminating with Take 2, who gave us all the hits that had people boogying until the night ended!

Your event Hosts are delighted to feature the best of what Sacramento has to offer every year as part of the Dîner en Blanc experience.  If you have suggestions for next year please let us know, and in the meantime please support the artists you saw by following them on social media, booking them or catching a performance sometime soon!

Chers amis, until next year!


Your Dîner en Blanc - Sacramento Host Team

Christine Ault, Tre Borden, Maritza Davis, Bobbin Mulvaney, Michelle Odell and Libby Siino

Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus

The Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus was founded in 1984 as a singing group that aimed to foster a sense of community and provide support for gays and lesbians in the Sacramento area. Over the past 30 years, through musical performance and outreach programs, the chorus has grown to become an integral part of the Sacramento music community, as well as a voice for the gay and lesbian community in the greater Sacramento area. With that voice, SGMC has confronted intolerance and bigotry by providing a positive experience of the gay community. The chorus has grown to 70 members and is focused on both musical excellence and dynamic choralography.

B Street Theatre

For more than 25 years, B Street Theatre has been delighting audiences of all ages. Founded by actor Timothy Busfield in 1986 as Theatre for Children, Inc., the company’s first focus was a touring theatre company for children. The B Street Theatre School Tour (formerly known as Fantasy Theatre) was and continues to be extremely popular in the community— performing 12 times per week, 38 weeks a year. The School Tour has received critical acclaim by the media, educators and most importantly, the estimated 3.6 million California children (currently about 200,000 per year) who’ve attend performances. In 2018, B Street moves into their brand new, state-of-the-art-complex on Capitol Avenue.
