Dads are special guys who work hard, play hard, and do a lot of great things for their families. It’s easy to take Dads for granted, but this Father’s Day, plan some family time and let Dad know how much you appreciate him. We’ve got a bunch of ideas in our Father’s Day Guide (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.

The Hangar Flight Museum
Instead of a sleeve of golf balls or another tie, we bet Dad would prefer to spend a fun family day out! Celebrate Dad by heading to a Father’s Day celebration at The Hangar Flight Museum on June 20 – 21, 2026. Wings and Wheels, presented by Custom Electric Ltd., features airplanes, a vehicle show and shine, and smiles for the whole family. Tell him you’ll pay for yourself, and he gets in free with a paid admission! He’ll love it even more.
