When is Father's Day?
US Father's Day is moveable: it is always the third Sunday of June, so the date changes each year.
Father's Day celebrates fathers and father figures, often with family meals, gifts, and outdoor activities.
It falls close to the June solstice, so it usually coincides with the start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
The history of Father’s Day
Father’s Day in the US grew from the efforts of Sonora Smart Dodd, who organised the first celebration in Spokane, Washington, in 1910 to honour her father, a Civil War veteran who raised six children alone. It took decades to gain national footing and was made a permanent federal observance in 1972.
Falling on the third Sunday of June, it usually lands within days of the start of summer, and is commonly marked with family gatherings, gifts, and outdoor activities.
