When is World Redhead Day 2021?

Considered an “unofficial” holiday in the United States, World Redhead Day — which falls on May 26, 2021 — is one of many holidays that celebrate redheads.

The official holiday, however, is National Love Your Red Hair Day, which is in November.

National Love Your Red Hair Day was founded in 2011 by sisters Stephanie and Adrienne Vendetti — who are, in fact, redheads.

According to the official website about National Love Your Red Hair Day, it was designed “for redheads throughout the world to celebrate a redhead’s beauty, in both the fashion and beauty sector.”

But if you’re not in the States, you can always celebrate Redhead Day Festival in New Zealand, which is another festival for redheads.
