When is Father’s Day

July 31, 2008 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

Every year, it’s the same question – when is Father’s Day? And then follows the mad scramble to get gifts, cards, flowers for dad just a day or two before the actual date. In case you missed Father’s Day this year, don’t fret. Start planning for next year’s Father’s Day well in advance so that you can buy the best gift for your dad. Here’s how you can find out when Father’s Day is.

In the United States and several other countries across the world, Father’s Day is always celebrated on the third Sunday in June. The chart below provides the dates for the coming years.

Father’s Day Elsewhere

When is Father’s Day celebrated in other countries? Often, Father’s Day is set to coincide with the birth of the founding leader or king, for example, Argentina and Thailand. Australia and New Zealand observe this festival on the first Sunday of September. Roman Catholics usually honor fathers on Saint Joseph’s Day. Islamic countries such as Iran celebrate it on June 18. Interestingly, Taiwan celebrates Father’s Day on August 8, as the pronunciation of the word for 8 is similar to a character that means father in China.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.
