Possibly the most famous ginger celebration of all. This summertime festival is held in Tilburg, Netherlands. The festival focuses on art, lectures, music and demonstrations connected to red hair. This year, redheads are invited to attended a carnival parade. Redheads have been asked to wear this year’s colour theme: green.
The festival was founded by the Dutch artist Bart Rouwenhorst, who advertised his need for ginger models back in 2005. Instead of the 15 he asked for, 150 redheads volunteered. The group took part in a photoshoot, and for years later, the tradition continued. There you have it! Roodharigendag!
No word of a lie, the USA has officially dedicated a day of the year to celebrate the ginger felines in our lives. This day appreciates the unique beauty and orange coat of ginger cats!

This festival takes place in Arras, a city in northern France. The event hosts fashion shows, a ‘redheads got talent’ competition, stalls, music, and great food. Festival des Ch’tis Roux (Welcome Redheads Festival) intends to celebrate redheads worldwide.
The concrete jungle where your dreams are made of! The League of Extraordinary Redheads hosts a ‘Night of the Walking Red’ pretty much every year, held in Troy, New York.

Every year, the Hellerick’s family of (mostly) redheads use their farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, to host Redhead Celebration Day. Guests are to be greeted with a photoshoot on the ‘Orange Carpet’, drinks, food, plenty of activities, a ‘Goat Experience’, sunflower fields, and live music!
