Eager participants of all ages have painted a Dutch town "ginger" for the annual Redhead Day in the Netherlands.

Thousands of redheads including a legion of children celebrated their day at Breda with picnics, art, workshops and competitions.

The event, Roodharigendag, was created in part to help spread awareness about redheads — who make up about 1 percent of the population worldwide and are becoming rarer, according to genetic research.
