White isn't just for brides.

At the sixth annual Dîner en Blanc on Sept. 15, 5,000 diners dressed in their finest white attire will assemble at a location to be revealed one hour before their French-inspired dinner party begins. Organizers announced the date Thursday.

Last year's picnic was held at Hudson River Park's Pier 26.

Celebrity chef Todd English is curating this year's menu for the third year in a row, organizers said, but you can always cater your own feast.

Diners are expected to bring their own table, chairs, linens, picnic basket and even the dishes and glasses they'll need — all in white, of course. The price of tickets has yet to be confirmed.

Registration opens for last year's attendees and guests of organizers, who get first dibs, Monday at noon. 

You can add your name to the waitlist here. If you don't get in, you can always admire the ethereal photos of the monochromatic picnic on Instagram. 

Dîner en Blanc parties, a tradition established in Paris almost 30 years ago, are hosted in over 70 cities in 25 countries.
