What is the Hat’s Off Luncheon?
For 20 years, the Hats Off Luncheon has brought together civic leaders, philanthropists and park champions to celebrate the power of private support in Cincinnati Parks.
Hosted by The Women’s Committee of Cincinnati Parks, this signature event is more than a luncheon — it is a catalyst. Proceeds directly fund transformative park projects that conserve, create and connect the spaces that define our city.
From neighborhood greens to the riverfront skyline, Hats Off has helped turn vision into reality — one park at a time.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Hats Off Luncheon, two decades of impact driven by dedicated women and generous supporters who believe our parks deserve private investment.
Over the past 20 years, the Hats Off Luncheon event has:
Elevated women’s leadership in civic philanthropy.
Funded transformative park improvements.
Helped shape Smale Riverfront Park into a national model.
Created a lasting culture of giving for Cincinnati Parks.
Provided us the riverfront we enjoy today.
