10 Ways
to Celebrate
Dads, stepdads, granddads, uncles and other father figures are pretty great. They help pack lunches, do the
morning school run, read stories and impart wisdom like how to throw the perfect spiral, or how to get epic grill
marks. Plus, we can always count on their endless supply of dad jokes (bad puns and all) to brighten any day.

Father’s Day is right around the corner. And instead of purchasing a patterned necktie or another power tool,
treat a special dad in your life to one of these fun local events.

“Dads should be here!” Choose from over 60 beers and
40 bourbons. Plus, you’ll get to enjoy live music
as you sip and eat.

Is Dad a jazz enthusiast? Celebrate Father’s Day a day early
by treating him to an afternoon of live jazz performances and
specialty drinks. This year’s showcase includes a wide-variety
of Virginia farm wineries, craft breweries and distilleries.
