When is Father's Day? Dates around the world

Father's Day is even less agreed upon than Mother's Day. A family with a dad in Sydney, a grandad in Dublin and an uncle in Madrid has three different dates to remember.

Why September in New Zealand and Australia?

The reason isn't well recorded. It has the practical advantage of sitting at the start of spring, well away from Mother's Day in May.

Ordering in time

A Father's Day photo book needs about two weeks from start to doorstep. Each country page shows the date to order by for the next Father's Day there.

If your father and father-in-law live in different countries, you may get to do it twice.
