The Red Deer Arts Council is joining the global celebration of millinery called the World Hat Walk! Red Deer’s inaugural Hat Parade is a free community event on April 26^th, 2025, meeting at 12pm at City Hall Park for photos and meetups, with a tea party following the walk at the Scott Block Theatre.  

Hat lovers in cities around the world will take to the streets for the second World Hat Walk, showcasing creativity, craftsmanship, and community. From professional milliners and vintage fashion aficionados to cosplayers, collectors, and even hat-wearing pets, this event is an open invitation to all who share a love for headwear. (Only service animals may attend the tea party.)

Participation is free and World Hat Walk events are designed for fun and socialising rather than speed or distance. Red Deer Arts Council, our local organiser sets the routes, ensuring each walk reflects the unique character of its host city while bringing people together to admire fabulous hats, make new friends, and celebrate the artistry of millinery.

About World Hat Walk

World Hat Walk was launched in 2024 by Becky Weaver and Georgina Abbott to bring together the hat community. They have both been working in the industry over two decades to support milliners, hat lovers, and fashion enthusiasts through events, networking, and education.

World Hat Walk aims to uplift and showcase independent designers, many of whom are women-led businesses, as well as suppliers, retailers, and educators who contribute to the thriving world of hat-making.

Join us for World Hat Walk 2025 and be part of a truly global hat-loving community. Grab your most fabulous hat, gather your friends, and let’s walk the world in style!

Each Monday evening from 6:30 - 9:00 pm is a rehearsal night for our chorus and we invite you to drop in and hear us sing! Perhaps you would be interested in joining our chorus or perhaps you might be interested in hiring our chorus to perform at your event. Hear us in person!

Each spring, we join together to build a more hopeful future for all those affected by workplace tragedies.

On any given working day, three families will learn a loved one won't return home from work. Thousands more will experience a workplace injury or illness that will change their lives forever. Their families, friends, and co-workers will rally together to be there for one another.

The Association for Workplace Tragedy Family Support, known as Threads of Life, supports the healing journey of families who have suffered from a workplace fatality, traumatic life-altering injury, or occupational disease.

Every year, Threads of Life hosts Steps for Life. This 5-km family walk aims to educate the community. It highlights the ripple effects of workplace tragedies. And, it shows how we can prevent such incidents.
