Father's Day
is a special occasion that brings families together to honour and celebrate the incredible men who have played a significant role in our lives. Whether they are fathers, grandfathers, stepdads, or father figures, this day is dedicated to recognising their love, support, and guidance. In
2024
, Father's Day falls on June 16th, and it's an excellent opportunity to show appreciation for the fathers who have been our mentors, protectors, and role models.
Father's Day has a fascinating history that dates back over a century. The idea for this celebration is believed to be first conceived by Sonora Smart Dodd, a loving daughter from Spokane, Washington. Inspired by Mother's Day, which had already been established as a national holiday, Dodd wanted to create a day to honour her father, William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran who had single-handedly raised her and her siblings after their mother passed away.
In 1910, Dodd's efforts bore fruit, and the first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane. The idea quickly spread, and over the years, the tradition grew in popularity. However, it wasn't until 1972 that President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father's Day a permanent national holiday in the United States, celebrated on the third Sunday of June.
