This festival currently holds the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of redheads in one place. Actually the festival continues to beat its own record each year, as the number of attendees increases.
In order to attend Redhead Day guests are required to be a natural ginger. The weekend is filled with events, picnic, motivational speeches, an annual fashion show and community building. Attendees are able to camp and the price to attend is completely free!
Every year the festival chooses a different colour in order to accentuate the flaming locks of visitors. For 2014 the theme is Wonderland, guests are asked to dress in purple and are told to expect the unexpected.
