As President Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcome Prime Minister Kishida Fumio of Japan, the White House staff is preparing for a special evening April 10, when the Bidens will hold a state dinner to honor their guest.

For more than a century, American presidents have put diplomacy on the menu at these formal dinners. At this one, White House executive chef Cristeta Comerford and White House executive pastry chef Susie Morrison will oversee the meal. Entertainment will be provided by singer-songwriter Paul Simon, a personal favorite of the first lady, along with performances by “The President’s Own” Marine Band Chamber Orchestra, the Army Strolling Strings and the Air Force Strings.

Are you ready to experience a state dinner? This digital story from the State Department puts you front and center in the White House dining room.
