Father’s Day is an annual celebration that allows us to show appreciation for the important father figures in our lives.
We’ve been celebrating fathers for centuries. An annual day set aside for the celebration of fatherhood in Catholic Europe can be traced back as far as the year 1508.
It can be a wonderful day, with gifts, cards, warm wishes and days out – or a hilarious day filled with classic, albeit totally cringeworthy, dad jokes.
For those whose loved ones are no longer with us, Father’s Day may be more about treasured memories and fond remembrance.
Every year, it falls on a different date. So what date is Father’s Day this year?
Here’s all you need to know.
