Photos: It's Raining Hats! The 41st Olmsted Luncheon Brings Broadway to the Park!

On May 3, 2023, the Central Park Women's Committee had their hats in tow at the 41st annual Olmsted Luncheon, also called "the hat luncheon." The event took place in the Conservatory Garden where over 1,300 members and friends gathered (with their best hats in hand, of course!). The luncheon this year raised over 4 million dollars in supporting and maintaining Central Park this year!

It should be no surprise that people who invest in Broadway also invest in Central Park. Many Tony Winners and honorees attended the luncheon, supporting the city's most incredible park! Bonnie Comley, Stewart Lane, Mayor Micheal Bloomberg, Anita Durst, Anne Stringfield, and Margo Nederlander are a few of the Broadway supporters who appeared at the luncheon.

The Women's Committee of Central Park is a community whose goals include preserving and enhancing the Central Park experience. Since its inception in 1983, the committee has raised over 200 million dollars in financial support!
