What day is September 7th?

September 7th is Red Hair Day.

Red hair day originated in Brayda, the Netherlands. Less than 1% people in the world have natural red hair, and they get together to celebrate their festival, that is, the natural color of red hair day is black, brown or white. However, on September 6th, 2009, 3,000 people with red hair appeared in Brayda, the Netherlands. They celebrate their own festival-"Red Hair Day" on August 7th.

In 2009, Brayda held the "Red Hair Day" celebration for the fourth consecutive year. These men, women and children have naturally red hair. Bright red makes Brayda particularly festive. Less than 1% people in the world are born with red hair, and most of them are concentrated in Britain, Ireland and Australia. The region with the largest proportion of natural red hair is Scotland, reaching 13%. Some geneticists have claimed that there may be no redheads after 100 years.

History of Red Hair Day:

The annual Red Hair Festival originated in 2005, and the number of people increased year by year from 150 in the first year. By 2000, the number of people with red hair had exceeded 5000. In 2005, the first Red Hair Festival was held in the Dutch town of Si Tong. The founder Bart Rauwenhorst is a painter. He wanted to create 65,438+05 paintings of redheads, so he advertised in the newspaper for 65,438+05 redheads to be models. Unexpectedly, after the advertisement was issued, the registration was extremely enthusiastic, and 150 models came to the door.

Bart chose 14 and 15 by lot. In order not to disappoint the unsuccessful models, Bart organized a special team of photographers to take pictures of them. This happened to lead to the first red hair festival. The Red Hair Festival received a good response unexpectedly and was widely reported by the media.

Mayor Si Tong later concluded that this was the first time that this remote town appeared on the front page of major Dutch media. In 2007, with the support of the municipal government of Boleda, the second Red Hair Festival was moved to the small town of Boleda, and has been held in this city every year since then.

The number of participants is also increasing. In 2007, 800 people gathered with red hair, nearly 2,000 in 2008 and 4,000 in 2065,438+03. The organizer said that the "Red Hair Day" was held to congratulate those who have rare red hair, because having red hair means being different and strong-willed.
