Hats can be practical, stylish, or deeply meaningful. A favorite hat may carry memories, such as a well-worn baseball cap, a Sunday church hat, or the one always worn while gardening or walking the dog.

Join in today's observance of National Hat Day. Consider wearing a hat that reminds you of someone you love and taking a quiet moment to remember them. You might celebrate the day by sharing the story behind a meaningful hat with family or friends, or even on social media with a photo.

A thoughtful way to mark the day is by “tipping your hat” to someone who has supported you, offering a word of thanks or a simple kindness. Sometimes it is the simplest objects that help us remember, reflect, and connect.

However you choose to observe the day, we hope it brings a moment of warmth, remembrance, and connection.
