Father's Day is a holiday that honors male parenting and the role that fathers' play in society. It is celebrated in the U.S., Argentina, Belize, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico and Venezuela on the third Sunday in June. This year, Father's Day falls on June 21.

Nicaragua celebrates Father's Day on June 30 this year while Uruguay celebrates it on the second Sunday of July. The Dominican Republic celebrates dad's special day on the last Sunday of July.

The idea to celebrate the role of fathers in family and society originated in the U.S. In 1910, the first Father's Day celebration was held in Spokane, Washington, by Sonora Smart Dodd, the daughter of American Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart. The celebration was not made an official U.S. holiday until President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers in 1966.
