12 Ways to Celebrate Father’s Day Around the DMV

Dads, step-dads, granddads, uncles and other father figures are pretty rad dudes. They help pack lunches, do the morning school run, read stories, and impart wisdom like how to throw the perfect spiral or how to get epic grill marks.

Father’s Day is right around the corner. And instead of purchasing a patterned necktie or another power tool, treat your dad, granddad, uncle or neighbor to one of these fun local events.
