Description

Hance Park Conservancy, in partnership with the Phoenix Parks & Recreation Department, invites you to the seventh annual Noche en Blanco presented by Clayco, an inclusive community dinner in celebration of Hance Park on Saturday, October 29, 2022, from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. The event is a night of community fun where guests are invited to dress in white costume cocktail attire, enjoy live entertainment, and dine under the stars on the lush east lawn of Hance Park. Honorary Chair, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, invites guests to enjoy the annual toast to the community, which will include a special recognition of former Phoenix Mayor Terry Goddard, and his tremendous leadership in the creation of the park. Entertainment for the evening is a multicultural music and dance performance showcase featuring the Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra and will include special performances from partners representing the Hance Park Conservancy Board of Trustees, including the Japanese Friendship Garden, Irish Culture Center, Arizona School for the Arts, The Nash, and more. This elegant and culturally-diverse experience is inspired by a similar “dinner in white” that started in Paris over 30 years ago and features long rows of tables draped in white linens with strings of sparkling lights and stars overhead. Guests may purchase single seat tickets or tables for eight and are encouraged to decorate with their own festive centerpieces and compete for “Best Table” prizes. In the spirit of the origins of this community dinner, guests may bring picnics and non-alcoholic drinks, or they can pre-order gourmet picnic boxes and Garden Bar craft cocktail kits, crafted by Kim Haasarud, James Beard honored mixologist & author, and owner of downtown Phoenix’s Garden Bar. Each picnic box serves 2, and includes a curated selection of cured meats, cheeses, fruit, crackers, and dessert (a vegetarian option is available). There will also be an impressive selection of wines presented by Quench Fine Wines, and craft beer by locally-owned Greenwood Brewery. All pre-orders for gourmet picnic boxes and alcoholic beverages close Friday, October 14. Specialty craft cocktails, wine and beer will be available for purchase at the event. This event is 21+. Note, you must purchase a single seat or a table in order to attend. Purchasing picnics or beverages alone does not grant entry to this event.
