Mark your calendars because Father’s Day is approaching and it’s time to start planning for the most important man in your life. What do you give the man who taught you how to ride a bike, grilled your favorite meals, or attended all your school events? Having a father (or father figure)  in your life who has shown you unconditional love is certainly something to be grateful for, and it’s time to show that gratitude with some careful consideration. Let’s be honest, fathers can sometimes take a backseat to mothers when it comes to being celebrated, but it doesn’t mean they are any less important. This Father’s Day, celebrate the special man in your life in an unexpected and adventurous way with a scenic Sacramento River Cruise and enjoy historic landmarks while you soak in panoramic views. 

Floating into Father’s Day 2024 in Sacramento  

Did you know that Mother’s Day has a hand in the history of Father’s Day? Mother’s Day was declared a national holiday in 1914 but dates back to the The 1860s, eventually paving the way for Father’s Day when a church in West Virginia held a sermon honoring men in the country’s first-ever event to honor fathers. The following year, Sonora Smart Dodd began her quest to establish a national holiday for fathers only. Dodd was one of six children raised by their single father, and she felt that he and other fathers should be honored like mothers. The first official Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, and finally declared a national holiday in 1972 when President Richard Nixon signed it into law.

Consider spending time this Father’s Day in Sacramento aboard a City Cruises yacht, together with family letting your cares float away.
