Dads are special guys who work hard, play hard, and do a lot of great things for their families. This Father’s Day (Sunday, June 15, 2025), plan some family time and let Dad know how special he is to you. We’ve got a bunch of ideas (beyond the BBQ — although we like that, too!) for fun family events and activities you can all do together in Calgary.
Many of these events happen on Father’s Day, but we’ve included a few Father’s Day crafts or activities that happen early, so be sure to check the dates.
