NAPLES, FL – March 18, 2026 – Hats in the Garden 2026, La Discothèque du Jardin, chaired by Ann Scott, will be celebrated on Wednesday, March 25, and includes a special appearance by Emmy-winning television host and New York Times best-selling author, Daphne Oz.
The event—one of the region’s most anticipated annual gatherings—features a luncheon and Balmain Spring 2026 Collection Runway Show, presented by Saks Fifth Avenue, followed by Après Hats in Kapnick Hall. An estimated 700 guests, in striking millinery, are expected.
Supported by the Garden’s Sustaining Leadership Council, a group of nearly 50 women who champion the Garden’s mission,Hats in the Gardenis critical to advancing horticultural excellence, environmental education, and plant conservation—including the Center for Nature-Based Solutions, which is addressing some of the region’s most pressing environmental issues. Proceeds from a special Fund-A-Need will expand the Garden’s Nature Play initiative, unveiled last year with the support of 2025 Hats patrons. These playscapes, the first of their kind in Southwest Florida, use natural elements to inspire imagination and encourage outdoor discovery.
The Garden is an independent, nonprofit organization that relies on the support of visitors, Members, and Donors, and the generosity of Hatsattendees, to sustain its work.
