Thai New Year Water Festival

This can’t-miss cultural celebration of the Thai New Year perfectly coincides with Father’s Day, so bring Dad to Carroll Creek from noon to 6 p.m. and enjoy traditional Thai performers and dancers, food, art, vendors, a beer garden, Thai boxing demonstrations, and more! ​​The best part? Admission to this lively event is FREE. 

As an added bonus: there will also be raffles throughout the day with chances to win Sumittra gift cards, water guns, and traditional Thai scarves.

Summer Concert Series: The McCartney Experience

A must-see for any Beatle-loving dad, The McCartney Experience provides a premiere tribute to Sir Paul McCartney. After enjoying a delicious dinner downtown, bring Dad to the Baker Park Bandshell at 7 p.m. for this lively show featuring music from the early years of Beatlemania.
​
The event helps give back to the community, too: in lieu of admission, attendees are asked to bring a canned food item or cash donation for the Frederick Community Action Agency Food Bank Program.

For the dad that appreciates theatrical comedy, the Maryland Ensemble Theatre's last performance of Pride and Prejudice is a perfect Father’s Day gift. Grab some tickets and take Dad to the 3 p.m. showing of this hilarious adaptation by playwright Kate Hamill. After the show, take advantage of MET’s downtown location and walk to Market Street for dinner. ​​
