• Photos: Ce Soir Noir turns CRAB Park into a sea of black

Some 4,500 beautiful people have assembled at Canada Place for the 2015 edition of Dîner en Blanc Vancouver.

For the fourth year in a row, the event's location was kept a secret up until just hours before guests began  to arrive.

By our count, Canada Place was revealed as this year's venue by Twitter user martinigirl at 11:59 a.m. She posted a photograph of a display featuring white umbrellas with the message, "is #canadaplace the secret location for tonight's #dinerenblanc #dinerenblancvancouver?"

It turns out she was right.

Martinigirl broke the news exactly one hour earlier compared to this day last year when Twitter user RonWilsonVan revealed David Lam Park as the location for Dîner en Blanc Vancouver 2014 at 12:59 p.m.

Check Straight.com tomorrow morning (August 26) for a photo gallery from tonight's event at Canada Place. (Wednesday we'll also have photos from Ce Soir Noir, which was timed to coincide with Dîner en Blanc but asked people to wear black to a gathering in Crab Park.)

In the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek provided by Andrew Chin.
