Crosshaven on alert for a weekend of fun and frolics at Irish Redhead Convention

A Cork seaside village is preparing for its seventh annual invasion of redheads and a world record attempt at the largest number of foxy-haired people dancing a céilí.

Crosshaven will be the venue for the annual Irish Redhead Convention, billed as a ‘weekend-long ginger extravaganza filled with fun, freckles and frolics’.

Festival organiser Joleen Cronin anticipates thousands of redheads from all around the world will turn up at the festival which has the aim of raising vital funds for the Irish Cancer Society.
