Father's Day in Boston, MA

Father's Day is coming up in less than a week!  Do you have plans yet?  Father's Day falls on the third Sunday of June every year in the United States, which is June 17th this year.  The holiday became an official federal holiday in 1972, but has been celebrated in the US since the early 1900s.  Countries around the world honor dads on this day every year.  There are many options for celebrating the dad in your life this Father's Day in Boston, MA.

Jazz on the Porch on Spectacle Island
Is dad into jazz music?  Then Spectacle Island might be the place for you to be on Father's Day, enjoying the first installment of Jazz on the Porch.  The jazz band features guitarist David Ehle and will play a variety of types of jazz.  The show is free and will run from noon until 4 pm.  Regular ferry fees to the island still apply.  Spectacle Island is one of the beautiful Boston Harbor Islands and a national park.

Sunday Fun on the Esplanade
Maybe dad wants to spend time outdoors, but doesn't prefer jazz music.  Celebrate Sunday on the Esplanade!  In addition to the usual options of walking or bicycling on the trail, boating, having a picnic, playing tennis, and taking kids to the playground, there will be special activities on Father's Day.  From 2 - 4 pm there will be games, arts and crafts, fishing, music, fitness classes, and more.

SoWa Open Market
Every Sunday during the warmer months of the year the SoWa Open Market opens from 10 am - 4 pm.  At the SoWa Open Market you can let dad pick out a gift and then treat him to lunch.  Local artists and designers sell clothing and housewares while local farmers sell food.  There are also a whole host of food trucks on hand so each member of the family could eat a different type of food if they wanted.

Franklin Park Zoo
The Franklin Park Zoo has been connecting local residents with wild animals since 1912.  The zoo features thousands of plants and hundreds of animals representing locations across the world.  Parents and kids alike will enjoy looking at giraffes, lions, bears, zebras, tigers, kangaroos, birds, and more.  There is also a restaurant on site.  Entrance to the zoo is free for dads on Father's Day.  For non-members, the rates range from $11-$17 depending on age.
