Introduction to Red Hair Festival

Every year on the first weekend of September, the small Dutch town of Breda will usher in a festival prepared for a special group of people. "Red Hair Festival" was born in 2005 and has been held in the Netherlands for 8 years. However, if you want to participate in the celebration together, you need a little "talent", that is, you must have pure, natural red hair, and it must also match your relationship. People with the same red hair spend a week together, including sports, picnics and community building. Every year, attendees must wear the same color clothing to highlight their red hair and take group photos. The color of the clothing changes every year. In 2013, it was blue.

On September 1, 2013, in Breda, the Netherlands, more than 5,000 red-haired people from more than 80 countries around the world participated in the annual "Red Hair Festival" held on the 1st, hoping that could once again break their own Guinness World Record.

When a planeload of red-haired people flew from Scotland to participate in the festival, this "Red-Haired Festival" is destined to witness the world's first time with these people with the same color hair. Attempted "only redheads" rave. In addition to attracting thousands of red-haired people from all over the world, this "Red Hair Festival" also broke its own world record and completed the largest gathering of red-haired people in the world. Also participating in this event was the world-famous red-headed person, McDonald's mascot Ronald. During the carnival, he was surrounded by 1,672 red-headed people gathered in one place in the center.

History of development

The annual Red Hair Festival originated in 2005 and has grown year by year from 150 people in the first year. By the year, the number of redheads participating had exceeded 5,000.

In 2005, the first Red Hair Festival was held in the small Dutch town of Aston. The founder, Bart Lowenhorst, was a painter. He originally wanted to create 15 paintings of red-haired girls, so he An advertisement was placed in the newspaper to recruit 15 red-haired girls to be models. Unexpectedly, after the advertisement was sent out, the registration was extremely enthusiastic, and more than 150 models came to the door. Barthes selected 14 models and selected the 15th model through a lottery. In order not to disappoint the unsuccessful models, Balt organized a dedicated team of photographers to take pictures of them. This happened to lead to the first Red Hair Festival. Redhead Day was surprisingly well-received, with widespread media coverage. The mayor of Aston later concluded that this was the first time this remote town had appeared on the front page of a major Dutch media outlet. In 2007, with the support of the Breda Municipal Government, the second Red Hair Festival moved to the small town of Breda and has been held in the city every year since then. The number of participants has also continued to increase. In 2007, 800 red-haired people gathered, nearly 2,000 in 2008, and 4,000 in 2013. Organizers say Red Hair Day is held to celebrate those with rare red hair, because having red hair represents being different and strong-willed.
