Looking for something a little off the beaten track for Father\u2019s Day activities in Sacramento?<\/p>\n
The annual Sunday holiday falls on June 21, this year.<\/p>\n
Father\u2019s Day was first celebrated<\/a> in 1910 in Washington state, mainly as an offshoot of Mother\u2019s Day, which was established six years earlier by President Woodrow Wilson, History.com said.<\/p>\n But the day honoring dads didn\u2019t become a national holiday until 1972.<\/p>\n Along with the perhaps more traditional picnic, celebratory dinner, hike, round of golf or other family get-together, here are some additional options for spending the day with dad.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what to know:<\/p>\n Root for the home team<\/p>\n The A\u2019s take on the Los Angeles Angels at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.<\/p>\n The game begins at 1:05 p.m. Sunday and includes a Hawaiian shirt giveaway<\/a> for the holiday, MLB said. Arrive early before the shirts run out.<\/p>\n Early-arriving fans can enjoy complimentary ice cream while supplies last, and children under age 14 are invited to run the bases at the stadium after the game ends.<\/p>\n Relax on the river<\/p>\n City Cruises offers a one-hour Father\u2019s Day ride<\/a> along the Sacramento River.<\/p>\n The cruise, which has a causal attire dress code, features a full bar with cocktails, wine and beer available for purchase.<\/p>\n It also will feature live narration on Sacramento River facts and history.<\/p>\n Seating is limited for the cruise, which begins boarding at 11:45 a.m. on Front Street between K and L streets.
