What do to in Vancouver for Father's Day?

Vancouver offers so much for families to do but if you're looking for something a little different to do this Father's Day, here are a few suggestions. 

Car Free Vancouver!  If Dad loves street festivals, this is for him!  Block parties in Kits on June 15 & 16, street festivals on Commercial Drive, Main Street and the West End on Sunday, June 16.  There’s a little something for everyone – music, food, performances and more… Car Free Vancouver is fun for the whole family. 

Get some cross border shopping in while you support family, friends, colleagues and other Vancouverites as they cross the finish line for the 2013 Ride to Conquer Cancer, in Seattle WA. Participants leave Vancouver on Sat. June 15 and ride their bikes all the way down to Seattle to cross the finish line on Sunday, June 16 - all raising money for BC Cancer Foundation!  

How about a simple relaxing family meal?  A Yaletown gem perfect for Dads is
Hub Restaurant and Lounge.  Great for brunch, lunch and dinner, Hub has lots of TVs so Dad can watch his sports (but isn't noisy like a typical sports bar), it's perfectly suitable for kids (they have high chairs), and they also have a great Salad selection for the health conscious Mom. 

What if Mom and Dad want to get out on their own, or if Dad wants to 'escape' alone or with his dad buds?

Does Dad love meat?! Brewery & The Beast, Vancouver's first festival of MEAT happens on Sunday, June 16th at Concord Pacific Place. Brewery & The Beast is for adults only, must be 19+. 

Guns, Ammo, what more could dad want? Sounds odd but lots of dads (and moms alike!) would love to just shoot something.  A hot spot for wedding parties (yes, it is!), the Vancouver Gun Range has a special Fathers Day promotion. 

Happy Father's Day Dads!  Let's hope the sun shines for you!
