Cheers to Dad: The 2025 Ultimate Eastern Shore Father’s Day Guide

Celebrate the dad in your life with adventures, music, craft beer, and memory-making.

Father’s Day done right—fun events, local brews, and zero dad jokes (okay, maybe one).

Father’s Day is coming up fast—and if you’re anything like me, you’re already trying to figure out how to make it special, fun, and meaningful… without resorting to another last-minute “Grill Sergeant” mug. Don’t worry—you’re in the right place!

From live music and boat shows to a comic con and local cooking classes you can do as a family (yes, even with toddlers in tow), this guide is packed with ideas that go way beyond the usual backyard BBQ. And because no Father’s Day is complete without a little something for you too, we’ve included a brewery bucket list that gives you a reason to sip and celebrate alongside him.

So let’s raise a glass (or a spatula) and get ready to celebrate the dads, stepdads, partners, and bonus dads who keep our families anchored.
