TILBURG, The Netherlands — Thousands of people gathered in the Netherlands this weekend to celebrate their red hair at the annual Redhead Days Festival in the southern town of Tilburg. Scottish Liam Hunter, 30, told Reuters attending the three-day festival made him feel better about himself. Like many redheads Hunter said he has experienced bullying over his unusual hair color. ADVERTISEMENT“I don’t feel alone anymore, I feel together, a part of something,” he said, looking out over the festival grounds, “being here I’m completed”. In 2013, the festival entered the Guinness World Records book as the largest gathering of people with natural red hair with 1,672 redheads in the traditional group picture.
