There are just some things that Dads do best -- from setting up the PlayStation, pep talks before the big game, barbecues, learning how to ride a bike, and all-things car related. This June 20th, celebrate your special bond with Dad, or the Father Figure in your life, and show him how much you appreciate all that he does. 

Here’s a shortlist of some great Father’s Day events in Fort Lauderdale (or you could just use this list for inspiration):

  • June 18-20: Hard Rock Café is celebrating Super Dads with Super Meals on all three days. Reserve a spot to treat your rockstar to a hearty meal of burger or steak, and a sweet treat.

  • June 19: The Blitz Corporation will be celebrating the day with great food, raffles, and Father-Son/Father-Daughter dances at this 2021 Men of Honor Father’s Day Event
  • June 19: Is Dad into BBQs? Then this Father's Day Grill Kit from Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant will be the perfect DIY treat. Make sure to order before the 16th to receive your hearty kit of four 8-oz filets, baked potatoes, classic tomato bruschetta, lemon pound cake, a lux cabernet sauvignon, and more.
  • June 19: For Dads who love a live music concert, this performance of rock-n-roll harmonies by the Atlantic City Boys is a must-see.
