Norfolk Sister City Association’s Toulon, France Committee is pleased to announce that its annual Soirée en Blanc will be held on Thursday, May 29th*, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. This Evening in White is a beloved French traditional outdoor event in which everyone wears white, and the décor is white also. Guests will enjoy the ambience of beautiful music en plein air, good conversation, and their own food, drinks, and wine, or pre-purchased boxed dinners. For those bringing their own meal, you may arrive at 5 p.m. to set up. To add to the excitement, the location in Norfolk is kept a surprise until it is announced 24 hours prior! *Please note that this event does not have a rain date, nor are we able to issue refunds. Those who have purchased meals would come to the venue to collect them.
