Hat day is a tuesday this year but it’s not
actually a nationally observed holiday. It is an odd holiday that celebrates an
accessory we wear on our head. Different style hats have been around for a very long
time they protect us from the sun, the rain, winter hazards, are worn for religious
or ceremonial purposes and just for fashion.
