Father's Day celebration details for 2023
Today, June 18, 2023, is Father's Day, a day set aside each year to honour fathers and other father figures. It is a day set aside to express love and gratitude to dads who have made a significant impact on many people's lives, whether at home, work, religious institutions, or other settings.
Nigeria, South Africa, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries all mark this important day.

Father's Day has a long history that dates back to the early 20th century. The already popular Mother's Day holiday inspired Sonora Smart Dodd to push for a day to honour fathers.
Dodd was the daughter of William Jackson Smart, a veteran of the American Civil War. Her father, who had 14 children and had been married twice and widowed twice, reared her. She was motivated by this to establish Father's Day to recognize the devoted service of all fathers, not just her father.
The first Father's Day was observed in Spokane, Washington, in 1910, and it quickly gained popularity across the country. Father's Day was finally formally proclaimed a national holiday in the United States by President Richard Nixon in 1972.
