1,000 black-and-white clad diners will gather on North State Street in Newtown Borough for a one-of-a-kind alfresco picnic held in the middle of the street.

All proceeds from this event benefit the historic Newtown Theatre.

Dress

To celebrate the elegance of old Hollywood, dinner guests are asked to dress only in black and white for this event. Creativity is encouraged and formal wear is absolutely not required – as long as it's black and white, the sky's the limit!

Prizes will be awarded after dinner to the Best Dressed Man, Best Dressed Woman, Best Dressed Group, Most Elegant Decor, and Most Creative Decor.

Decorate

When you arrive to the Newtown Black & White Dinner at 5:30 PM, you'll find a communal table draped in white linens stretching down North State Street.

You're welcome to decorate your place at the table with black and white décor. Decorations may be elegant, whimsical, movie-themed, theatre-inspired—it's up to you!

Prizes will be awarded to those with the Most Elegant Décor and Most Creative Décor.

While you decorate your place at the table, you can mingle, enjoy live jazz music, and prepare for dinner, which begins at 6:30 PM.

Dine

You can bring your own picnic dinner or pre-order a meal. No matter what you choose, you’ll also need to bring flatware and glasses, beverages (alcohol is now allowed), desserts, and any decorations you'd like for your place at the table.

Chilled pre-made meals will be available from Ardana Food & Drink for an extra charge:

• Toasted orzo salad with salmon, baby arugula, aged feta, pickled onion, Greek vinaigrette

• Korean BBQ bowl: gochujang marinated chicken with julienned vegetables and peanuts, served over rice

• Herb falafel served over a Greek salad

All entrees are served cold and will be available for pick-up at the event.
