Days to go

Celebrating fatherhood together, everywhere.

Our mission

This “Holiday” is an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of fatherhood, connect dads with each other and fatherhood resources they want, and add value to the communities we live and serve as fathers and father figures.

Our values

It’s fun, it’s free, it’s everywhere.
Throw a big party or hang out in your garage.
Do some good in the daytime, then raise a glass at 8pm.

Here’s how you can get involved.

Host one

Pick a place, invite your people, and raise a glass at 8pm. It costs nothing, and 167 dads have done it.

At least take the dad jokes.

One email a month: new cities, the next Fathers Eve as soon as plans are ready, and a joke your kids will hate.
That email address looks incomplete.
