Father’s Day
Father’s Day is that one day of the year when we celebrate all things dad and just generally make a fuss of the old man. Whether you’re planning a special day out or just thinking of cooking him a meal, we’ve got some suggestions to make sure Father’s Day 2022 is a day to remember.
When is Father's Day in 2024?
This year Father's Day will be on Sunday the 16 of June.
Is Father's Day Always on 16 June?
No, the exact date of Father’s Day in the UK and many other countries changes every year because Father’s Day is held on the third Sunday of June.
Which Date Is International Father's Day?
There’s no such thing as International Father’s Day. Each country has its own Father’s Day and while many of these fall on the same day they are generally spread out over the summer months. For example, the Festa del papà is celebrated in Italy on 19 March.
Why Was Father's Day Created?
Father’s Day was created a few years after Mother’s Day to give everyone a chance to celebrate male parents (the dads were feeling a bit left out). The first-ever Father's Day was celebrated on 19 June 1910, in Washington state, although it wasn't named a national holiday until President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.
What Is The Best Dinner For Father's Day?
That’s a difficult question to answer since, while all dads love to eat, no two dads are exactly alike. Some dads go mad for burgers, while others prefer something a little more spicy, like chicken curry or even a vegetable chilli.
Whatever you’re planning on cooking for Dad this year, be sure to look for the RSPCA Assured logo when you buy meat, fish, eggs and milk to ensure that you’re supporting higher welfare.
