HIGHWOOD, IL - Redhead Days Chicago, an affiliate festival of a larger one that’s been held for years in Holland, will return to Highwood for its second year.

While the plans have not been finalized, the dates of the festival will be June 4 and 5, according to a post on the Redhead Days Chicago Facebook page.

Planned by local business owner and quirky redhead Jim Stoecker, last year’s inaugural festival in the United States drew hundreds of redheads from throughout the country.

An official announcement could be made soon.
