June has begun and Father’s Day is right around the corner! It’s always difficult to find a gift or celebration that truly shows how appreciative you are of your husband or partner and the role he plays in your kids’ lives. Why not try to mix it up this year? Check out these fun ways to celebrate Father’s Day this year in Nashville, from our team at Tried and True Nannies and Sitters.

Indulge in a Special Father’s Day Feast
If Dad loves a great dining experience, you’re in luck! Either make reservations for his favorite spot this year or take advantage of the many restaurants in Nashville that are offering special buffets or other dining events for Father’s Day. Popular spots like The Dutch, Adele’s, Bourbon Steak, and Sadie’s are just a few of the restaurants that will make Dad’s day special.
Personalize a Father’s Day Gift for Dad’s Favorite Hobbies
Dads love gifts that are given from the heart, so homemade gifts are always an excellent choice. Your kids’ gifts can be one of a kind when you cater them to whatever it is that Dad enjoys most. For example, you can help your kids make him a personalized mug for his morning coffee, decorate a simple picture frame with stickers themed after his favorite sport and put in a picture of the family, or create a DIY gift basket with his favorite snacks, drinks, and knickknacks.
Create a “Choose Your Perfect Father’s Day” Plan
Want to plan the perfect day for Dad? Why not turn it into a “choose your own adventure” day? Prepare a few different options for activities throughout the day and let Dad choose. For example, you could give Dad these choices:
Morning activity:
Play catch
Walk in the park
Go fishing
Lunch:
Picnic lunch
Your local tavern or sports pub
Barbecue
Afternoon:
Go swimming
Go to the zoo
Play golf
Dinner:
Make your own pizza night
Chinese takeout
A favorite neighborhood restaurant
This way, you’ve done the work of making arrangements so Dad gets to have the day he wants without having to make the plans on his own.
Share a Concert with Dad
If Dad’s a music buff, he’ll love sharing an enjoyable concert with his family. Unsurprisingly, there are plenty of concerts and events in Nashville this Father’s Day. You could opt for a family-friendly option like The Music of the Grateful Dead for Kids at Brooklyn Bowl, or Black Panther in Concert by the Nashville Symphony. Or, Dad could relive some of his old favorites – Styx is in concert at the Ryman Auditorium, and there’s a Nirvana tribute band at City Winery.
Make Storybooks of Your Favorite Memories with Dad
The most precious gift your kids have from their dad is joyful memories, and they can give this same gift to him. You can buy blank storybooks online and allow each child to write and draw their book to tell the story of their favorite memory with their dad. The entire family will have beautiful lifelong mementos and it will be a fun way for the kids to reminisce with Dad.
Embrace America’s Pastime as a Family
Baseball is a classic when it comes to family activities. If Dad enjoys baseball, you’re in luck. The Nashville Sounds, our local minor league baseball team, plays a home game on Father’s Day (as well as the previous day). Get tickets for the whole family and get ready for a relaxed and enjoyable day at the ballpark.
