On Sunday 16 April, a record number of over 2,000 milliners and hat lovers joined organisers Cristina de Prada and Nina Pawlowsky on a sunny Barcelona Hat Stroll to celebrate the hat. The crowd gathered at noon at the Flirty Giraffe statue at Diagonal and walked from there slowly down the Rambla de Catalunya, showing off their creative and colourful mix of headwear. The walk ended just like previous years at the Plaça de Catalunya, where the organisers thanked everyone for participating and invited all to join next year's 20th anniversary edition of the event. The Hat Stroll usually takes place one week after Easter, but the final date for the 2024 edition will be announced closer to the date.
