What: Celebrating its 22nd year, this fabulous and fun party has been an ongoing fundraiser for the Women’s Council of the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, raising money to support The Dallas Arboretum and A Woman’s Garden at the Dallas Arboretum.
Over 600 women, some from as far away as California, plan their trips to Dallas not only to take part in the Mad Hatter’s Tea – many in wild and wonderful over-the-top hats relating to the event’s theme - but to view the glorious springtime azalea displays and flowers that grace the arboretum and visit friends.
Event: This year celebrates past chairmen with a special display. Event includes champagne reception, silent auction, professionally staged and choreographed fashion presentation produced by Jan Strimple and lunch. Hats are judged in different categories. Winners are announced at the fashion show and take a walk on the runway.
Hat Judges: TBD.
Fashion Show: Fashions from Carolina Herrera, Jimmy Choo, Ralph Lauren and St. John; all of Highland Park Village.
Beneficiary: Since its inception in 1982, the Women’s Council has supported the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden overall and through the creation, development and on-going funding of the world renowned A Woman’s Garden and now, through funding the garden’s enhancements that will continue to draw visitors to our great city from all over the world.
