Redhead Days Festival

Dive into a Sea of Red: The Redhead Day Festival (Roodharigendag) in Tilburg!

Are you ready to paint the town red? Literally! Once a year, the streets of Tilburg in the Netherlands become awash with auburn, ginger, and fiery shades of hair, as thousands of natural redheads from over 80 countries converge for the ultimate carrot-top carnival: The Redhead Day (or Roodharigendag if you’re feeling Dutch)! Originating from a painter’s humble quest to find 15 redheaded models, this festival, since 2005, has grown to become a vibrant three-day celebration of unity, pride, and recognition.

The backdrop? A vibrant history featuring a ‘Redhead Day’ in 1979 organized by a Dutch broadcaster, and a serendipitous 2005 gathering that spiraled into an international phenomenon! Now, whether you’re there for the fun, the art, or just the sheer spectacle of seeing a sea of redheads in varying dress codes (from elegant whites to mysterious blacks), there’s no doubt you’re in for a ginger-tastic treat. So, mark your calendars for the last weekend of August, pack your sunblock (because redheads, right?), and join the most flame-haired fiesta on the planet!
