Celebrate Father’s Day with Food and a Bit of History
Father’s Day 2025 deals are a fantastic way to give Dad a memorable day without breaking the bank. Whether he’s a fan of wings, Whoppers, or waffles, there’s something tasty waiting for him at nearly every turn.
But, how did this whole thing get started?
Father’s Day has roots going all the way back to the early 1900s. The first known celebration was held in Fairmont, West Virginia, in 1908 after a tragic mining accident.
The modern version of the holiday gained momentum a year later thanks to Sonora Smart Dodd, a woman from Spokane, Washington, who wanted to honor her father, a Civil War veteran and single parent of six.
Although Mother’s Day became official in 1914, Father’s Day took a little while longer. It wasn’t until 1972, under President Richard Nixon, that Congress finally made it a national holiday. Today, it’s celebrated on the third Sunday in June and, in 2025, that’s June 15.
Where Dads Eat Free in 2025
With so many Father’s Day 2025 deals and freebies available, there’s no reason not to treat Dad to something special. Whether you’re planning ahead or just want to keep it casual, these Father’s Day restaurant discounts offer a little something for every kind of dad – steak lovers, sweet eaters, and breakfast champions alike.
What do you say we skip the socks this year and show our appreciation with something delicious? The way to Dad’s heart is usually through his stomach, anyway.
