All White Affair: A look inside the ‘most anticipated party of the summer’ in Memphis

All White Affair! Thousands of people gathered at Mud Island River Park in Memphis on Saturday evening for one of the city’s annual marquee parties.

The attire was varied from T-shirts to dresses, but all the guests had one thing in common — they wore all-white attire. That’s a mandatory rule for admission to the All White Affair hosted by CGI Entertainment’s Curtis Givens — a staple of Memphis’ party scene for more than two decades.

The party was billed as “the most anticipated party of the summer” with an estimated 2,500 to 3,500 people expected to attend Saturday. People took photos in their all-white outfits at the “Memphis” sign at Mud Island River Park. Others enjoyed drinks and food while listening to music in the seating and VIP areas.

The All White Affair began at 4 p.m., and the park started filling up with partygoers arriving fashionably late closer to 6 p.m. with the sea of white clothing visible all throughout Mud Island.
