Redhead Days takes place every year in the Netherlands (Roodharigendag) and will be celebrating it's 10th Anniversary on September 4th, but the movement has also been spreading into the US and the UK.

Redhead Day UK will make it's first foray into the English capital on September 15th, 2015 and it's a "a gingertastic all-day event" that recognizes and celebrates ginger pride.  That's right red raiders, it's time to pack up your sunscreen and get ready to party in the heart of London and the Festival even invites our non-redheaded friends to join in the celebration: 

"Not a natural ginger? Ahh, that’s too bad, but it doesn’t matter if you’re a natural, dyed or ex-redhead, or if you’re simply a lover of gingerness; your redhead appreciation is enough to make you welcome at Redhead Day UK."

Crazily enough, Redhead Festivals seem to be popping up all over Europe and a 43-year old red-headed pizza delivery guy named Stuart Parry is organizing a "Ginger Pride" fest in the town of Plymouth, England. He says a venue of 150-200 people has been reserved, but this story is going viral and will surely exceed capacity. 

Across the sea, Redhead Day 2014 went down in Chicago in early June and it was filled with beautiful redheads, ginger beer and record breaking all-redhead photo attempts. 

For a calendar of Redhead Events around the world, get over to Ginger Parrot who has all the listings.  And here's a shout out to our personal fave redhead, the illustrious Jessica Rabbit:
