NEWTOWN, PA — Tickets are still available for the 9th annual Newtown Black & White Dinner, being held this year on Saturday, Sept. 6. All proceeds from this event benefit the historic Newtown Theatre.

During the event, hundreds of black-and-white clad diners will gather on Newtown Borough’s closed-down North State Street for a one-of-a-kind alfresco picnic held in the middle of the street.

The event begins at 5:30 p.m. when diners arrive to find tables draped in white linens stretching hundreds of feet down the street. Guests can mingle, decorate their tables, and enjoy live music prior to dinner, which begins at 6:30 p.m.

Dinner will conclude at 8 p.m. with a communal, Instagram-worthy lighting of sparklers by the diners. Following dinner, the theatre will host a special dueling pianos concert inside the theatre (concert tickets are sold separately from the dinner ticket and there is a 260-person limit).

For this event, diners are to dress only in black and white (formal wear is not required) and bring everything they need for dinner under the stars, including food, utensils, and optional black and white décor.
