Redheads are rare. Redheads are iconic.
And on May 16, 2026, we’re celebrating everything that makes redheads legendary.

This is the first-ever Redhead Festival, and it’s just the beginning of what’s becoming a nationally recognized celebration of red hair, bold personalities, and unforgettable community energy. Whether you were born ginger, married one, love one, or just admire the fire—this day is for you.

 KICKOFF: REDHEAD BRUNCH BINGO

We’re starting the day the right way with Redhead Brunch Bingo, where over $4,000 in prizes will be given away—all included for one price.
Eat, drink, play, and win big while surrounded by the most vibrant crowd you’ll find anywhere.

 BONUS PERK:
The first 50 redheads through the door will receive exclusive Redhead Festival gift bags packed with fun surprises and goodies.

 FESTIVAL CONTESTS (YES… MULTIPLE)

We’ll be running contests throughout the day, including:

 Ginger With the Most Soul – attitude, presence, and pure ginger energy
 Best Red Beard – the fuller, fiercer, the better
 The Legendary Redhead Hall of Fame – Look-Alike Contest

This look-alike contest includes ALL redhead characters—past or present—from cartoons, movies, TV, superheroes, and pop culture icons. If the character is (or was) redheaded, they’re fair game. Come dressed to impress and bring your best interpretation.

 MUSIC • ENERGY • ALL-DAY VIBES

Keeping the energy high all day long is DJ Marcus Aurelius, spinning the music and MC’ing the entire festival, keeping the crowd hyped, the contests moving, and the celebration nonstop.

 LOCAL VENDORS • COMMUNITY LOVE

We’re proud to feature local vendors representing the spirit of the festival—unique products, small businesses, and creatives who help make this celebration truly special.

This isn’t just an event—it’s the start of a movement.
A festival built to grow, travel, and become a must-attend celebration for redheads everywhere.

 Come for the brunch.
 Stay for the contests.
 Leave knowing you were part of history.
