Gifts for Father’s Day, from Baltimore

Father's Day

Union Wharf residents: don’t forget that Father’s Day is this Sunday, June 20th, 2021.

Father’s Day is a day of commemoration and celebration for the fathers and/or father figures in your life. We recognize and honor their sacrifices, devotions, and contributions to our lives through fatherhood, guardianship, and nurturing.

The first Father’s Day occurred after one of the worst mining accidents in West Virginia circa 1908. Grace Golden Clayton organized the memorialization for the 350+ fallen fathers. Sonora Smart Dodd, however, first popularized Father’s Day in 1910 in Spokane, Washington. She, too, had organized the day in honor of her late father, who had raised her on his own. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Father’s Day as a national holiday to be annually observed in the U.S. on the third Sunday in the month of June. Today, we still honor Father’s Day.

So, here is a comprehensive list of the best Father’s Day gifts in Baltimore. Shopping locally is important for our economy and community — and your Dad will appreciate it, too.
