This year, Boca Ballet Theatre is thrilled to host “Affair en Blanc” on Sunday, April 11th at 5:30 PM with Event Chair Julianna Miron! Guests of this outdoor event will enjoy a socially-distanced picnic under the stars! Guests may bring their own picnic to match their fabulous tablescape or preorder sealed Parisian-inspired picnic boxes. We will also have wine, beer, and champagne available for a suggested donation at the event. “Affair en Blanc” serves as a fundraiser for BBT’s upcoming performance of Swan Lake, and guests will have the opportunity to meet some lovely white swans from the show!

This pop-up party has a few key details you need to know. First, the location is a secret! The event will take place in Delray Beach and guests will receive the address at 2 PM on the day of the event. We encourage all guests to dress in white Parisian-inspired fashion. The more accessories and elaborate costuming, the better! You can learn more details in the “About” section below.

Guests of “Affair en Blanc” can expect a fun, festive, and—most importantly—safe outdoor party that will set the stage for our highly anticipated performance of the timeless ballet classic, Swan Lake! We hope you’ll join us in what is sure to be a magical evening!
