Father’s Day Events | In & Around Cedar Rapids

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th. And while we don’t need a single day to honor Dads and father figures (we should celebrate them every day!), make Sunday meaningful, special, and fun as you celebrate all the great dads in your life. Here are a few things we think Dad will love!

2024 Father’s Day Events In and Around Cedar Rapids:
