Father’s Day 2025: Where to score free food and best deals

Father’s Day is on the third Sunday in June

Father’s Day is not only a time to show our love and appreciation for the special men in our lives, but also a chance to take advantage of free food and other discounts.

Many countries in the world, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, mark Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June every year.

The very first Father’s Day in the U.S. was celebrated in the state of Washington on June 10, 1910, according to History.com. While Mother’s Day was made a national holiday in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson, Father’s Day wasn’t given the same title until 1972 by President Richard Nixon.

If you’re still on the hunt for a present for your father, or want to treat him to something special, here are the deals to take advantage of.
