Father’s Day Denver 2018 - What to do

Dear Old Dad. What’s the best way to celebrate him? Here are our ideas for Father’s Day in Denver 2018. Here's what to do.

Horse Races
If dad hasn’t taken in the horse races at Arapahoe Park in Aurora – or even if he has – this is a perfect idea for Father’s Day in Denver 2018. Quarter horse and thorough bred races will take place beginning at 1 p.m. Admission is a very reasonable $5 a person or $10 if you want a clubhouse table. Be sure though to watch at least one race outside by the track. It is thrilling to witness up close the strength and speed of these beautiful horses.

Father’s Day Race
For the dad who wants to race himself, sign him and the family up for the Father’s Day Race with lots of options for the whole crew: 1 mile, 5K, 10K, 10 mile or half marathon. Strollers and pets can take part too! This Father’s Day in Denver 2018 event takes place in Central Park’s Central Park.

Dads Grilling Party
Does dad need to brush up on his grilling skills before summer kicks into high gear? Register him for The Seasoned Chef’s Cooking skills class on Friday, June 15. In three short hours, he’ll learn six recipes, have lunch and enjoy complimentary beers. Kids 11 and up can join (but not beers for them, of course). After the Friday training, dad can whip up the perfect family meal on Father’s Day in Denver 2018.   

America's Biggest Father's Day BBQ
If dad just wants to pig out on Father’s Day in Denver 2018, America’s Biggest Father’s Day BBQ is the answer. This festival at Sports Authority Field at Mile High features legendary grill masters and live music. Admission is free with food and drink available for purchase.

Denver Comic Con
Where better celebrate dad as a superhero than Denver Comic Con. For Father’s Day in Denver 2018, Comic Con will entertain the whole family with all things comics, sci-fi, toys, gaming and the chance to meet legends in the industry. Three-day passes and single day tickets are still available! 

Father/Daughter Ball
For the dad that wants to spend Father’s Day in Denver 2018 with the special lady in his life (sorry moms, this time is all about Daddy’s little girl), dress him up and send him to the Father/Daughter Ball in Westminster. This special night will give dad and daughter(s) a special opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime. The evening includes dancing, dessert and horse-drawn carriage rides.

And More…
