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.
