Approximately just 2% of the human population is born with red hair. And life can be tough for them, as they are constantly being called all kinds of names and are the brunt of many jokes. There are even claims that people with red hair are incapable of possessing a soul.

That is why many Ginganinjas head to Roodharigendag or Red Hair Day every year to meet up with like-minded, or like-haired, friends. So they can comfort each other. This past weekend saw 5 000 reheaded revellers take to the Dutch city of Breda. Activities include lectures, workshops and demonstrations aimed specifically at red-haired people.

Here is festival organiser Bart Rouwenhourst:

When people come together as redheads, they just look at each other. They have a certain bond.”

Check out all the fiery excitement in the gallery and video below:
