Peabody Essex Museum’s Hats Party

Saturday, May 16th marked the return of the Peabody Essex Museum's ever-popular Hats Party. In lieu of black tie, guests donned creative headwear--from bright silk turbans to safari pith helmets--and danced the night away. Proceeds from the Hats Party support the Peabody Essex Museum’s education initiatives, school outreach programs and special exhibitions.
