Celebrate Father’s Day with Great Gift Ideas and Activities

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16, 2024! Find some great quotes for your card, tasty recipes, and a few activities. Plus, find out who “invented” Father’s Day—it’s a moving story about 1,000 fatherless children.

Why We Celebrate Father’s Day

Father’s Day celebrates and honors the men who have embraced the essential role of fatherhood. On this day, we also thank fathers and father figures (uncles, grandfathers) for the sacrifices they make, for embracing the responsibility of nurturing and raising children, and for their devotion to their families. 

When Is Father’s Day 2024?

Father’s Day is celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, India, and a number of other countries around the world.

In 2024, Father’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, June 16.

Many countries celebrate this holiday at other times of the year. In Australia, for example, Father’s Day is held on the first Sunday of September; in Norway, Sweden, and Finland, on the second Sunday in November; and in some Catholic countries, on March 19 (St. Joseph’s Day).

Father’s Day Ideas

This year, Father’s Day falls a few days before the summer solstice (June 20, 2024), which makes it the perfect time to kick off the summer season with a father-focused barbecue, camping trip, beach day, or other outdoor activity!
