When is Father’s Day 2024?

Australians celebrate Father’s Day on the first Sunday of September, which also ushers in the first day of spring. In 2024, this special day is September 1st.

Where did Father’s Day originally come from?

Father’s Day originated as a counterpart to Mother’s Day, inspired by Anna Jarvis. Sonora Smart Dodd initiated the first Father’s Day in 1910, drawing from Jarvis’s concept. While the U.S. began advocating for official recognition in 1913, it wasn’t until 1972 that the holiday was nationally established.

Australia, ahead of the curve, officially acknowledged Father’s Day in 1958. Subsequently, the Commonwealth followed in 1964.

Why is Father’s Day a different date in Australia?

Unlike many countries that observe Father’s Day in June, Australia and New Zealand celebrate it on the first Sunday of September. We don’t clearly document the exact reason for this difference, but a few theories provide possible explanations.

Seasonal Significance: In Australia, September marks the start of spring, a season linked to renewal and growth. Thus, it may symbolise the fresh start that fathers represent in families.

Historical and Cultural Decisions: The date for Father’s Day in Australia likely reflects a desire to establish a unique local tradition. In order to differentiate from other international holidays. This helps avoid conflicts with other holidays.

Retail and Marketing Influence: Commercial factors might also have influenced the choice of date. Additionally, a September celebration could have offered a distinct marketing opportunity, free from competition with other holidays.

How is Father’s Day celebrated in Australia?

Father’s Day in Australia is a special occasion to honour and appreciate fathers and father figures. This special day is filled with genuine tributes and activities such as:

  • Family Gatherings: Families often come together for meals or outings to celebrate and enjoy each other’s company.
  • Gifts and Cards: Fathers receive gifts ranging from personal items to practical tools, along with cards expressing gratitude and love.
  • Special Treats: Many people treat their dads to breakfast or brunch, often featuring their favorite foods.
  • Outdoor Activities: The spring weather encourages outdoor activities, such as picnics, barbecues, or sports.
