Father’s Day is Sunday.

The idea of a special day to honour fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced in the United States. A woman named Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother’s Day celebrations and planned a day to honour fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910.

Father’s Day is observed on the third Sunday of June.
