The 29th annual Mad Hatter's Luncheon is again returning to the New Orleans Hilton Riverside with Saks Fifth Avenue staging the Fashion Show, “The Best for Spring.”

This is a major fund raiser for the Women's Guild of the New Orleans Opera Association, usually attracting over 600 attendees from New Orleans and the surrounding area. All proceeds from the luncheon benefit the NOOA and its mainstage performances and educational programs. This year’s Celebrity Hat Judges are artist Terrance Osborne, architect and interior designer Juan Barona, special event planner Andre de la Barre, vocalist and entertainer Anais St. John, TV personality Randi Rouseau, Saks Fifth Avenue New Orleans CEO Carolyn Elder and Gayle Benson, wife of the owner of the New Orleans Saints. For reservation and tickets call Gina Klein at the Opera Office 504-267-9527.
