This weekend is all about celebrating the father figure in your life. Celebrate Father’s Day in downtown Springfield this year with fun gifts, a tasty meal, family activities and more!

For the Dad Who Has Everything: Quirky Gifts

Dads are notoriously tough to buy for. Luckily, downtown’s gift selection can’t be beat. Head to A Cricket in the House for vintage glassware – perfect for the dad who loves to entertain – or quirky prints for Dad’s office. Check out Springfield Hot Glass for handmade blown glass mugs, selling for $40 apiece for Father’s Day. Plus, head to 5 Pound Apparel for Father’s Day specials including 15 percent off all United by Blue apparel and 50 percent off all hats with a purchase of $50 or more.

For the Foodie Dad: Father’s Day Brunch

Treat dad to a pint of tasty craft beer alongside Lost Signal Brewing Company‘s Father’s Day special: steak and eggs with toast and home fries. Springfield Brewing Company will also serve brunch on Sunday until 3 p.m. – and every dad gets a free beer!

For the Dad With Young Kids: A Day of Play

Head to the Discovery Center for a day of family fun! This Sunday, all dads and grandfathers will receive free admission to the Discovery Center.

For the Coffee-Loving Dad: Coffee Subscription

Mornings. Not the best time to be faced with a choice that impacts your entire day. Sign your dad up for The Coffee Ethic’s Single Origin subscription, where the highest quality coffees are curated for him and delivered right to his door each month.

For the Creative Dad: Art Classes

What better way to help Dad unleash his creative side than with art classes at downtown studios?
