League of Extraordinary Red Heads

League of Extraordinary Red Heads A league so extraordinary, only two percent of the world's population is eligible for membership. Harris.

The League of Extraordinary Red Heads was formed innocuously in January 2013 as a social get-together for those with reddish hair sprouting from their scalps and chins. From the moment of its inception, however, conspiracists around the globe have posited that the League is, in reality, “a drinking club with vague plans for world domination.” Only those in the upper echelon of this clandestine fel

lowship know for sure its purpose. Headquartered in Troy, New York (a.k.a. “Ginger City, USA“), The League assembles twice a year under the guise of conviviality. Carrot tops, Cheez Doodle orangies, strawberry blondes, auburn-types, distinguished white heads … all gingers are welcome to attend meetings of the League of Extraordinary Red Heads — and that includes transgingers, redbeards, friends & family of the fiery follicled, and fans too! But only those who demonstrate true extraordinaryness shall receive the highly coveted “Member” card. Our ranks include award-winning authors and journalists, college presidents, politicians, mirth-makers, lawyers, biker dudes, farmers, activists, inactivists, actors, barflies, giants, wee people and folks from all walks of life. Events typically attract more than 125 members and have included Happy Hour socials, a Pumpkin Ale “Toast of the Gingers,” a “Night of the Walking Red” and a documentary screening of “Being Ginger” with Scotland-based filmmaker Scott P. The highly secretive League of Extraordinary Red Heads has been featured in many news articles, and was authoritatively declared the No. 7 Best Red Head Gathering of 2013 by BuzzFeed.

A SPECIAL INVITATION TO:
Night of The Walking Red 2025

Red-haired siblings Sarah & David, talk about why they love going to the annual gathering of The League of Extraordinary Red Heads happening this Wednesday, Oct. 8 at Ryan's Wake Public House in Troy, NY.

They share some advice for any gingers on the fence about coming. And Sarah tells a fun story about the arrival of last year's "Random Red" — a redhead who just happens to show up at Ryan's Wake when the place is filled with gingers! Can you imagine the surprise?

Bring Out Your Red!

🌟 BRING OUT YOUR RED! 🌟

Check out this reel from the star of Recessive Jean—performance artist Georgi—who will perform a live showcase along with co-star musician Sean Hoots (of Hoots & Hellmouth fame) for The League of Extraordinary Red Heads' annual meeting and "Night of The Walking Red 2025" bash!

🎤🥁Get ready for a taste of their collaborative magic: songs, spoken word, and redhead vibes that'll have you feeling the MC1R gene glow!

Join us on Wednesday, October 8, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Ryan's Wake Public House (403 River St., Downtown Troy, N.Y.)—overlooking the Hudson River.

Kick off with our autumnal rite, the Toast of the Coppertops around 6 p.m.-ish then we'll step outside for the epic group shot—don't miss it!

After the photo, we will be entertained by a special 10-minute showcase from Recessive Jean, featuring Sean and Georgi. This project dives deep into redhead life (and beyond) through 20 unique chapters of music and words. It's a sneak peek of the full show—trust us, you'll want more!

Plenty of parking around the venue. This event is FREE and open to all (under 21? Bring a parent/guardian).
