What To Do On Father's Day

10 local ideas to give Dad a great day.

1. Compo Beach

Celebrate Father’s Day with a visit to Compo—bring burgers and hot dogs to cook on the grill, grab a baseball and play at the softball field, or a basketball to shoot hoops at the court. 

2. Longshore

Get active at Longshore with Dad this year. Whether land activities like golf, pickleball, or tennis are your thing—or if hitting the water on a sailboat adventure better suits your fancy—Longshore is the place to be.

3. Levitt Pavilion, 

Get your outdoor music fix at the Levitt Pavilion: The Wood Brothers, a bluesy-rock band, are performing on Father’s Day at 6 p.m. It will be the highlight of a great summer evening. Get tickets at levittpavilion.com

4. Sea Kayak CT

You can rent Dad a kayak or paddle board at Sea Kayak CT, or better yet, schedule a tour of the Saugatuck River and surrounding area! Book at seakayakct.com

5. Caffeine and Carburetors

Start your Father’s Day off with a trip to Waveny Park in New Canaan to see a stunning display of vehicles from the past to the present (and grab a coffee). More info at caffeineandcarburetors.com

6. Black Duck

Grab some wings for the family at the Duck! Sit outside and enjoy the boats going by on the river, or stick around a little later for some live music and celebratory atmosphere.

7. Sakura

Dazzle Dad with dinner at Sakura. Let the hibachi chefs entertain you with their showmanship skills and delicious food. Just make sure someone can catch the shrimp!

8. Gabriele’s 

Who can resist a delicious steak from Gabriele’s? Grab the whole family and a bottle of wine to make the evening complete.

9. Dunville’s (Little Pub)

Always a great place to spend time with Dad, now even better thanks to Little Pub. Dunville’s has been faithfully updated and continues to be the food and drink spot of choice for many Westporters.

10. Hudson Malone

The fantastic service and warm atmosphere makes Hudson Malone an obvious choice for Father’s Day. With rotating specials and an impressive drinks menu, you’ll leave Dad satisfied.
