For the 4th year in a row, Dad Guild is putting on a weekend-long Father's Day Celebration...and there's a little bit of something for everyone! Here's what is happening this year:
Saturday, June 20th, 9am-12pm, Dads & Kids - Pinball Co-op Open Play - Dads and kids of all ages are invited to a fun morning at the Pinball Co-op on Williston Road in South Burlington. All attendees will get free entrance to the Co-op, which will have 30+ pinball machines set to free play for 3 hours. We'll also have some ear protection for the kids who are a little sensitive to all the noise :) RSVP at dadguild.org.
Saturday, June 20th, 6pm-10pm, Dads Only - Competition for the 2026 Father's Day Cup - Join other dads for an evening of hanging out in competitive fashion at the Guild Hall, as everyone tries to become the 1st ever Dad Guild Father's Day Cup Champion! A decathlon of events will include Mario Kart, Cornhole, Darts & more. RSVP at dadguild.org.
Sunday, June 21st, 9am-2pm, Whole Families/Anyone! - Father's Day Celebration at The Soda Plant - A Father's Day full of family fun at the Soda Plant in Burlington. This year the date ALSO falls on the first Soda Plant Sunday of the season, meaning the parking lot will be full of vendors and items to check out.
This year's Father's Day lineup includes:
9am - 10am - The Move Your Buns 5K Run - This inaugural 5K run is open to anyone, and starts and finishes at Haymaker Buns at the Soda Plant. The path goes South on Pine Street, takes a right turn onto Flynn Ave, and then the Burlington Bike Path all the way back. The catch? You'll need to consume a bunch of miniature buns from Haymaker throughout the race. Winner gets a gift certificate to Haymaker along with a gallon of Vermont Maple Syrup.

10:30am - 11:30am - Music from Matt Farley - Musician Matt Farley of the Toilet Bowl Cleaners will be performing classic hits such as "Poop in My Fingernails" and "The Diarrhea Bounce Back"
11:30am - 12:30pm - Grilled Cheese bar - We'll be slinging grilled cheese sandwiches up in the Guild Hall, along with a variety of toppings.
12:30pm - 1:30pm - Magic Show by Amaya and Tom Verner - Teenage magician Amaya and her grandfather Tom will be onsite as they perform a variety of magic tricks for all ages.
10am - 2pm - Free caricatures from Joe Ferris
10am - 2pm - Free airbrush tattoos by Face Mania
12pm - 2pm - Free Family Portraits from photographer René Rentería
So mark your calendars and be sure to join us in the celebrations! We can't wait! And a HUGE thank you to our sponsors who are helping make this weekend happen: Front Porch Forum, New Duds, Venessa Luck Therapy, Mascoma Bank and Blair Custom Builders.
