About Father's Day
Father's Day is the third Sunday in June in the US, UK and Canada. Australia celebrates it later, on the first Sunday in September.
Sonora Smart Dodd organized the first Father's Day in Spokane, Washington, in 1910, inspired by Mother's Day. It became a permanent US holiday in 1972. Like Mother's Day, it always falls on a Sunday, so the countdown is mostly about getting a card or gift in time.
