Father's Day
Dad's annual celebration
Father's Day is a holiday honoring fathers, celebrated in the United States on the third Sunday in June.
Like Mother's Day, it's marked by cards, gifts, and family gatherings: What are you getting Dad for Father's Day?
The apostrophe placement varies—Father's Day honors each individual father, while Fathers' Day would honor fathers collectively.
