Father’s Day ideas

Father’s Day presents an opportunity for people to honor the special men in their lives. These include not only dads, but father figures and other influential men who offer care and guidance to the people they love.
The following are some ways to show dads they are appreciated.
Backyard bash
Outdoor parties are some of the safer ways to bring people together, particularly if attendees maintain their distance.
Weather permitting, families can host barbecues and enlist someone other than dad to man the grill. Serve foods buffet-style and space out tables so people can safely celebrate.
Plan a sports outing
Professional sports teams are once again welcoming fans to stadiums and other venues. It may be possible to purchase tickets to an upcoming game and surprise dad or grandpa with tickets on Father’s Day.
Make Father’s Day festivities sports-centric, with coordinated decorations and themed foods to set the scene.
Plan a game day
Whether your father likes board games, video games or crossword puzzles, gear Father’s Day around fun and games. Let dad lead the way and choose the activity.
Host a beer tasting
If dad is a beer lover, organize a trip to an area craft brewery to sample their offerings. Or pick up beers from a few different breweries and create a beer tasting at home.
An outdoor movie night
Perfect for a father who is a movie buff, borrow or purchase a projector and show a movie on an outdoor screen or against a blank outdoor wall. Select one of dad’s favorite movies to watch and invite friends and family to join in on the fun. Make sure there are refreshments at the ready and plenty of hot popcorn.
Celebrating Father’s Day this year may require some ingenuity, but there is still fun to be had.
