The annual Hat Day luncheon is one of Columbus’ premier social traditions of the year at Franklin Park Conservatory. More than 600 guests attend this event under Lasting Impressions tent in the beautiful gardens, adorned in their favorite hats, to enjoy lunch with friends.

Proceeds from this spring fundraising event benefit the Conservatory’s pre-K and K-12 education and outreach programs, which each year provide more than 14,000 students, of all ages and backgrounds, with opportunities for learning, discovery, and hands-on exploration.
