These can range from a simple phone call or greetings card to large parties honoring all of the 'father' figures in a particular extended family. Father figures can include fathers, step-fathers, fathers-in-law, grandfathers and great-grandfathers and even other male relatives.

Many people send or give cards or gifts to their fathers. Some common gifts include: sports items or clothing, electronic gadgets, outdoor cooking supplies, gift cards and tools for household maintenance.

Here on Cape Cod, One of the biggest traditions is the annual Fathers Day Car Show

Food vendors and other activities are also featured and the event runs from Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM through Sunday 9 AM to 4 PM. It is free to spectators and a great family day of fun!

A motorcycle safety clinic will take place and over 30 raffle prizes will be given away thanks to local businesses. All proceeds will benefit the Hyannis Youth & Community Center and Cape Cod Child Development. Cost is FREE

However you choose to spend your day, make sure to keep in mind all the great men and fathers that you come in contact with, on their special day!!

A Dad is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends
A dad can be one
of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs
but when things go wrong
A dad can be patient
and helpful and strong.

In all that you do,
a dad's love plays a part
There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.

And each year that passes
You're even more glad,
More grateful and proud
just to call him your dad!

Thank you to all the Dads
for listening and caring
for giving and sharing
but, especially, for just being you!
