Father’s Day

Father’s Day is a celebration that takes place on the third Sunday of June, every year in
Costa Rica. This day honors not only the biological father, but all those people who carry
out the beautiful work of a father figure within the family. It is an acknowledgment that is
made to parents in Costa Rican society.

This date is undoubtedly propitious to express our appreciation, admiration and love to
our fathers. And to remind them of how important they are to the lives of all of us through
their example and integrity. A father’s presence is a key factor for the affective and
emotional development of boys and girls. This has been demonstrated in countless
psychological studies by experts.

It is worth mentioning that this date, apart from Costa Rica, is celebrated in many
countries around the world. And the objective is to give recognition for the daily effort
they make to give their children a worthy future, whether they are biological or adoptive
fathers, uncles or grandfathers, every man who thinks of his children and fights for them,
should be honored in this day.
