Redhead Day 2010

On 7 September 2008, about 1,500 to 2,000 redheads from 15 countries went to Breda to celebrate the third redheadday. The program consisted of 42 activities, including exhibitions of 40 artists. The dress code was black. The program was multi-lingual for the first time and the press coverage was worldwide. Articles appeared in newspapers from Norway to Hong Kong and Chile. In 2008 some Dutch calendars started noting the first Sunday of September as the official redheadday, a day honoring redheads. It complements Mothers Day and Father's Day, the celebrations honoring parents.
The 2009 event took place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 September. The location was again the city of Breda. On Saturday, the focus was on visitors from abroad. On Sunday, the main event took place, with the traditional group photo in the main city park of Breda. There were about 100 activities, ranging from large artistic photo shoots by artists, to workshops with children, and lectures on different aspects of red hair.
