Father's Day, Danville, CA.

Last Minute Father’s Day Happenings

Acclaimed world-wide, Father’s Day is celebrated in America on the third week of every June. On this very special occasion we recognize all father figures. The people from our past and present raising, inspiring and supporting us. Whether ever-present coaches or quietly leading by example, they are our own personal heroes, someone we might strive to impress, or maybe the best tickle monsters and storytellers alive.
We are grateful for all that you do! Living in Danville means you have probably shuttled kids to several of the great parks in our town. Perhaps, you’re the Father who consistently wakes at the crack of dawn to get your All Stars to their games? Family friendly Danville is a haven for sports fanatics, musical concerts, art events and markets.
It is probably no coincidence that your children live here amongst some the highest rated schools in the nation. Maybe you chose to settle in Danville to raise your family, because your own father endowed you with an appreciation for the vibrant lifestyle of our Bay Area community?

“My daddy is special because he makes food for me. And he also takes care of me the same time he is working. For Father’s Day I am giving him a clay monster that I made him at school with a card I also made.” – Eva 7

“My daddy is very special because he lets me have anything I want. He is kind.” – Sadhana 5

“Dads agree to more than moms. The dads take us to most of our activities and helps us. Ours takes us to where we want to go. We’ll take him out to dinner to say thanks.” – Smaran 8, Arnav 9, Sriyan 10
