CHAMPAIGN, IL (Chambana Today) – Father’s Day is a golden opportunity to honor the special men in our lives, including not only dads but also father figures and other influential men who offer care and guidance. Here are some fun and engaging ways to celebrate Father’s Day this year:
Backyard Bash
Outdoor parties are a fantastic way to bring people together. Weather permitting, families can host barbecues and enlist someone other than Dad to man the grill. Serve foods buffet-style and space out tables so people can safely celebrate.
Plan a Sports Outing
Make Father’s Day festivities sports-centric, with coordinated decorations and themed foods to set the scene. Whether it’s a day at the ballpark, a round of golf at Lincolnshire Fields in Champaign, or even a family-friendly game of soccer or baseball in the backyard, sports fans will love this active celebration.
Plan a Game Day
Whether your father likes board games, video games, or crossword puzzles, gear Father’s Day around fun and games. Let Dad lead the way and choose the activity. Everyone can step away from their screens and come together at the table over jigsaw puzzles or trivia questions.
Host a Beer Tasting
If Dad is a beer lover, organize a trip to a local craft brewery, like Riggs Beer Company in Urbana, to sample their offerings, or pick up beers from a few different breweries and create a flight at home. Pair the beers with some tasty snacks and enjoy a relaxed tasting session.
Set Up an Outdoor Movie Night
Perfect for a father who is a movie buff, borrow or purchase a projector and show a movie on an outdoor screen or against a blank outdoor wall. Select one of Dad’s favorite movies to watch and invite friends and family to join in on the fun. Make sure there are refreshments at the ready and plenty of hot popcorn.
These ideas can help create memorable experiences and show appreciation for the special men in your life on Father’s Day.
