Father’s Day In St. Louis

This Sunday, June 18th, is Father’s Day. Here’s a list of awesome places to take your Father/husband/man-in-your-life-who-you-think-deserves-special-attention this weekend:

First on the menu are some places you can go for a great meal for Father’s Day on Sunday, June 18th:

What else can you do with dad this weekend?

If your dad’s a car enthusiast: Check out the Kimmswick Auto Show in Kimmswick, MO from 10am-5pm. You can start by treating him to a lunch at The Dough Depot Cafe, The Tin Cup Bistro, or The Blue Owl Restaurant and Bakery. Then head out with full bellies to stroll the streets of Kimmswick and admire all the vintage cars on display.

If your dad’s into fitness: Go! St. Louis is hosting their All American 5K & Fun Run this Sunday, June 18th complete with apple pie and ice cream. The 5K starts at 7:30am, Fun Run starts at 8:30am. Pay for your dad’s entry fee (5K-$30 if you register by 6/15, 1-Mile Fun Run-$18), run with him, jog leisurely behind him, or sit on the sidelines in your lawn chair and cheer him on when he passes by. Either way, it counts as quality time, and everyone wins when you get apple pie and ice cream.

If your dad is a nerd (just kidding, sort of): Take him to the Museum of Transportation near Kirkwood, where he can spend the whole day reveling in the history of transportation…I haven’t been so maybe it’s cooler than I’m imagining. Either way, for one day only, Sunday, June 18th, admission is free. In addition, the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri will be hosting a Father’s Day Car Show, plus there will be historic trolley rides, handcar rides, and a Rolls Royce raffle drawing.

If your dad loves music: Take him out to the Bluesy Beer Garden at Pere Marquette featuring live Blues music, slow cooked BBQ pork steak sandwiches, and Schlafly Beer. The event starts at 12pm. There is no admission fee, just come out and enjoy a relaxing day of music. 

Of course, there’s plenty to do for all of the men…and women in St. Louis as well. Check our STL Weekend Event Guide for more events.
