Redhead Day

Redhead Day (Roodharigendag in Dutch) is the name of a Dutch summer festival that takes place each last weekend of August in the city of Tilburg. The Redhead Day festival started in 2005 in the small city Asten, and Redhead Day was held from 2007 up to 2018 in the city of Breda, in the Netherlands. The three-day Redhead Day festival is a gathering of tens of thousands of people in the city center of Tilburg, including many thousands of people with natural red hair, from more than 80 countries. Redhead Day is the oldest, largest, and most spectacular redhead festival in the world. The Redhead Day festival is free due to sponsorship of the local government; you don't need a ticket for the festival, you only pay for some specific optional activities like the campsite.

Activities during the Redhead Day festival are lectures, workshops, photoshoots, exhibitions, kids activities, food, campsite and much more, specifically aimed specifically at red-haired people and fans of red hair. The festival attracts attendance from over eighty countries.

Everyone is welcome at the Redhead Day festival. Whether you have red hair, white hair, no hair, dyed hair, or any other color hair, you are welcome. Many redheads come to the festival with family; even fans of redheads are welcome. The youngest participant to date was only two weeks old; the oldest was a Canadian woman of 85 years. There are activities for every age group with just one activity for natural redheads: the big group photo shoot on Sunday, 12 noon.
