Dads, you work hard, and let’s face it – you need some r & r sometimes, including time to hang out with other dads going through ups and downs just like you.
In 2012, right here in St. Paul, a group of dads started Father’s Eve for this very reason.
What is Father’s Eve?
Father’s Eve is a night out for dads to celebrate fatherhood together with competitive games, awesome food and manly door prizes. It now takes place in 12 cities across the country. Plus, it’s all for a good cause!
Fathers Eve is about finding the right way to bring dads together to strengthen each other and talk about being dads. In 2015 the event caught the attention of local media including the Star Tribune, and had an attendance of approx. 120 dads! This year’s St. Paul event takes place at O’Gara’s Bar and Grill, 164 Snelling Avenue North.
Good for Dads and the Community
Locally, Father’s Eve is sponsoring The Father Project, a local MN initiative powered by the Goodwill Easter Seals to help fathers support their families economically and emotionally.
Nationally, they are supporting The At-Home Dad Network, providing support, education and advocacy for dads who are primary caregivers to their children.
Join other local dads the night before Father’s Day for some stories and FUN!
