Behind the schoolroom door. And should I live
To see his coming forth, a life away,
I know my hope, but do not know its form
Among his teachers have a care of him…—“September, The First Day Of School” | Howard Nemerov

The Redhead Days Festival, the largest and most well-known redhead festival, takes place in Tilburg, Netherlands, during the last full weekend of August. The next edition is scheduled for August 29-31, 2025, with the main event, including the famous group photo, on Sunday, August 31, 2025. Activities are held primarily in Spoorpark, Tilburg, and the city center.
Other redhead festivals include:
World Redhead Day: Celebrated globally on May 26, 2025, focusing on empowering redheads.
National Redhead Day (Love Your Red Hair Day): Observed on November 5, 2025, mainly in the U.S. and other countries, with events like photo contests and gatherings.
Redhead Celebration Day at Hellerick’s Family Farm in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, typically held in spring (exact 2025 date not specified).
Irish Redhead Convention in Dublin, Ireland, often held in August, though specific 2025 dates are not confirmed.
Note: Some sources, like posts on X, incorrectly mention Breda, Netherlands, or Dublin, Ireland, as the main Redhead Festival location. The primary event is now in Tilburg, and Dublin’s convention is separate. Always check official festival websites for the latest details, as dates can change.

We’re “organized” but not too organized; like the bookseller who knows where every book can be found.
