Dîner en Blanc More than 900 people dine al fresco in white during Richmond’s inaugural Dîner en Blanc last Saturday at the Science Museum of Virginia on West Broad Street. Invited guests bring white chairs, tablecloths and picnic baskets to the pop-up picnic, the location of which is kept secret until the last moment. Guests then converge on the location and unpack their picnic carts — no plastic plates or utensils allowed — to elegantly dine under the stars to music. According to the Paris tradition where the impromptu event began nearly 30 years ago, everyone must dress in white. Photo by Tri D. Pham //

Fencing blocks off 17th Street and the Farmers’ Market — the first step in a $4.3 million facelift that will transform the street and the marketplace between Main and Franklin streets into a European-style plaza. Despite the work, restaurants and shops that face the market remain open for business, with owners and operators hoping customers will continue to stop by. The transformation is expected to be finished by March. When done, the revamped market is to be the outdoor extension of nearby Main Street Station, whose interior has been redone and includes a huge, glass-faced event space, a soon-to-open tourist welcome center and room for retail shops. The project is part of the city’s spending to rejuvenate the Shockoe Bottom area. Nearby to the west, the city plans to invest more than $19 million to develop a museum-style space to recall Richmond’s role in the slave trade more than 150 years ago.
