Father's Day History

Father's Day is celebrated worldwide to recognize the contribution that fathers make to their children. It is celebrates fatherhood and male parenting. Although it is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide, many countries including India observe this day on the third Sunday in June. This year it is celebrating its 100th anniversary on June 19.


On June 19, 1910, a Father's Day celebration was held at the YMCA in Spokane, Washington by Sonora Smart Dodd. Her father, the civil war veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there. She came up with the idea of honoring and celebrating her father while listening to a Mother's Day sermon at church in 1909.
