Kicker: Redheads, rejoice!

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Imagine a sea of fiery hair—thousands of redheads filling the square in the Dutch city of Tilburg. Every year, they gather for the Redhead Days Festival.

OLD WOMAN: I had two children and four grandchildren with red hair…

The teasing, well it’s a little funny now, but not back in the day:

MIDDLE WOMAN: When I was in school, I remember, kids would say, ‘I’d rather be dead than red in the head.’ (laughs)

Now they’re leaning into it and celebrating!

MAN: It can be a dream to be once in a lifetime in a group of thousands redheads (sic) just like you.

The weekend brings music, food, even makeup tips. And the highlight: A giant group photo—so many redheads in the picture, I think we can fairly call it one big ginger snap.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
