World Hat Walk in Berlin 07.04.2024
On Sunday, April 7, 2024, the world will witness a spectacular display of creativity as hat enthusiasts from 14 cities globally participate in the first-ever World Hat Walk. For the first time Berlin is among these cities and invites hat lovers to join the celebration, setting the stage for a remarkable event.
The new unusual event, organised by the well-known Berlin designer of hats and accessories, Tatiana Ashakova, with the support of the Berlin Hoppegarten race course, will culminate within the walls of Art City People Café.
*The World Hat Walk Experience*
The World Hat Walk, initiated in Barcelona and marking its 10th year, is a free event open to all in Berlin. Participants, including dogs, as long as they are adorned with hats, take to the streets, showcasing a diverse array of designs. Professional milliners, vintage enthusiasts, collectors, cosplayers, and more contribute to the vibrant atmosphere, making it a truly inclusive celebration.
The walk will take place under the aegis of giving everyone the opportunity for self-expression. In the modern world, a hat is often an attribute of eccentrics who don't identify themselves with the gray masses. Expressing oneself, showcasing one's style, and becoming manifest – the hat march will provide an opportunity for those who haven't dared to step into a new level of self-identification to reveal their inner world through an extraordinary hat image.
The walk will start at 12.00 pm at Brandenburger Tor and will proceed up to the Synagogue in Mitte and will comfortably be welcomed in a renowned Art City People Cafe in Berlin’s iconic Hackmannhoefe, where the contest for “Best style in a hat” will take place and the winners will be announced.
