Father’s Day will be here before we know it! If you’re on the lookout for special ways to treat Dad, Boulder and the surrounding areas offer plenty of options. Here, I share a few of my favorite ideas that are sure to make for a memorable day:
Make Reservations at a Prime Restaurant
When it comes to food, Boulder holds its own. We’re home to several impressive (and even Michelin-starred) restaurants, including the incredible Frasca Food and Wine. If he’s more of a steakhouse guy, you can’t go wrong with Steakhouse No. 316 or the iconic Flagstaff House.
Treat Him to a Red Rocks Show
Whether you’re hoping to catch a show on Father’s Day itself or waiting to snag tickets to one of Dad’s favorites, Red Rocks Amphitheatre is the perfect venue for a special occasion. There are plenty of great options coming up, from Film on the Rocks on June 22nd to Weird Al Yankovic on June 23rd. Explore the full schedule here.
Enjoy the 1940s Ball
If Dad is a history buff, you won’t want to miss the chance to join him at the 1940s Summer Ball. Held on June 20th at the Boulder Airport, this spectacular event is the ultimate way to step back in time (with style). There’s something for everyone, from well-known big bands to vintage cars and reenactments. Tickets go quickly, so reserve yours now.
Hit the Trails
Here in Boulder, the outdoors is a way of life. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to spend time together while soaking up the sun, a hike is the perfect way to do it. Whether you stick with an old favorite or explore something new, hiking is a classic pastime for an outdoorsy family.
Explore Local Breweries
Boulder is known for its vibrant craft beer scene. Many of them also have great food, and Father’s Day is the ideal time to check out any that have been on Dad’s list. If you want to explore several in one day, contact Boulder Brew Tours for a custom, all-inclusive package.
Our city makes it easy (and so much fun) to celebrate the important people in your life. No matter how you choose to spend Father’s Day, the Boulder County area won’t disappoint. Wishing your family a special day together!
