World's Largest Gathering of GINGERS (WTF?!)

As a proud ginger, I was THRILLED to attend the world's largest ginger festival/gathering a few months ago! It was the 12th consecutive year of Ginger Fest, held in a small town in Southern Netherlands called Tilburg. And what a blast it was!

More than 1,000 gingers, from all over the globe, came in for a weekend of music, activities, picnics, bar crawls and just old-fashioned FUN.

But I must admit.. it was pretty strange to spend 2 days exclusively with other members of the ginger community. Why? Because we have nothing else in common other than our unique genetic mutations. Most festivals/gatherings around the world are centered around a common INTEREST, such as music, sports, arts, etc -- but this one? It's just a bunch of redheads taking over a small Dutch town!

That being said, I will say that it was a fun time, and I made several new redhead friends who took me around UTRECHT (my new favorite city in Europe). It's a mini-Amsterdam, without all the tourists - as you'll find out in this story!

Thanks for watching and stay tuned for next week, when I visit the bizarre town called BAARLE which is literally stuck in between two countries: Netherlands and Belgium.

Any fellow gingers out there? Where you at? 😂 Regardless of your hair color, I hope you enjoyed this video. It's different than my usual ones, but it was a story that I was passionate about telling for years. Happy Sunday y'all!

[BLVCKSCORP]

After visiting the whole world, you finally found your people!

[geerenmo]

Anyone had flashbacks to that one South Park episode, where all gingers came together to throw the non-gingers into the lava?

[zuzuxzu]

That’s actually so cool. Ginger hair is so pretty and I don’t get why people bully people for it, it’s the most unique hair colour!

[ZatZim]

One of my classmates family is filled with redheads. Including her. I was surprised that many redheads get made fun of or bullied because of their hair color! Me personally, it’s such a cool hair color and people with that hair color should be proud to be one. It’s so unique! The reason I was surprised because my classmate doesn’t get bullied for her hair, she gets compliments.

I live in the Netherlands and never heard of this event! Beautiful! Unique!

[frankmiranda]

Never seen so many gingers in one event like this! They are so beautiful!

[iluvcreate]

Gingers are Beautiful without question!!! This was a wonderful video in every way!

[thisissophiaisabelle]

Ginger people are such stunning human beings. They're just not fully aware of the fact that their beauty is one of a kind.

[yanirahahn]

Didn't know that such an event even existed. I'm a redhead and would love to participate one day.

[sid]

Nice to hear you had a good time in my country with all those beautiful red headed people! Love from The Netherlands ❤🇳🇱🧡

[monikel]

Oh my God, so many in one place! Gingers are the most beautiful people on Earth for me. I love their hair and freckles. 🤩

[tescobesco]

I need to get out to the Netherlands because this looks awesome. I got bullied loads for my hair, even at one point considered dying it, but I’m much more confident with my style, and now I am a proud natural ginger. Tilburg, I’m coming!

[afergie]

As a ginger, I want to go to this one day. And leave it to gingers to need a sunscreen station.

[wumbleisthebest]

Can't believe people bully ginger kids, it's so unique and special. Very interesting video!

[malancy]

A ginger friend of mine told me the Netherlands has the largest ginger population of the world. I never understood why people with this hair color got teased. The color is beautiful.

[juhpsworld]

Now you convinced me to go next year, as a Dutch ginger living in Utrecht 😂

[thedeficryptologist]

The joy in this video is so pure and heartwarming

[Rach-N-RobTV]

As someone known locally as 'Ginger Rob', I HAVE to go to this event to be amongst my smallest minority brothers and sisters! 😆

All jokes aside though. In this world of accepting everyone and "being kind", we redheads still seem to be 'fair game', even in mainstream media.

Surely this needs to be highlighted because it will only create more difficult childhoods just like most gingers who watched this video, myself included. Thanks for giving us a good spotlight, Drew! 🦰 😁👌🏼

As a proud Angolan, there is a festival like this for all the ginger population. Which is really special considering that there are not many Ginger Portuguese people.
