Like Mother’s Day, Sibling’s Day, Grandparents’ Day – Father’s Day, too, is a special occasion. It’s a day set aside for honoring one's father, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society.


When is Father’s Day celebrated?

Father's Day falls on the third Sunday in June to honor the role fathers play in the family structure and society. This day recognizes not just fathers, but the father figures in our lives.



This year, the date is June 15.

Father's Day is an annual observance honoring people's fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. It was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, in 1909. It was originally celebrated at the YMCA on June 19, 1910, by Sonora Smart Dodd, who was born in Arkansas. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there.

The Father’s Day celebration:


Father's Day celebrations typically involve showing appreciation for fathers and father figures through gifts, thoughtful gestures, and spending quality time together. Popular activities include planning family meals, outdoor adventures, or enjoying hobbies together. Additionally, many families choose to personalize their celebrations with handmade gifts, cards, or by doing chores that would normally be done by dad.


Here are some messages, greetings, wishes, and quotes to celebrate your father and remind him how special he is, and how fortunate you are to call him ‘dad’!
