It looks like it’s going to be perfect weather to spend the day with Dad.

There is plenty to do in Southwestern Ontario if you are looking for a way to spend time with loved ones.

Labatt Park will be packed early Sunday afternoon with the London Majors hosting their annual Pack the Park Day against the Hamilton Cardinals. Admission for the 1 p.m. game is free, but a sell-out crowd of 5,000 people is expected, so arrive early.

Many dads love classic cars. They can get their fix at the annual Father’s Day Car Show put on by the Lions Club of St. Thomas.

The 26th annual event will fill Pinafore Park in St. Thomas from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Th event is free for spectators and costs $10 to bring your classic automobile.

Another family friendly way to spend Sunday is by taking advantage of the province’s free fishing weekend. Outside of this weekend adults will need a license to fish.

For those down by the beach in Port Stanley, families can jump on the Port Stanley Terminal Rail (PSTR) for a quick ride. Dads get half-price rides on the PSTR on Sunday.

Back in London, Victoria Park is an option to take the kids and spend a busy day. The London Children’s Festival has crafts, ride on toys, and interactive activities.

West of the city in Strathroy, the Hometown Festival has been a staple of the community for over 40 years. They have the annual Father’s Day Brunch followed by several free and ticketed events at Alexandria Park.

Of course, there are plenty of other ways to spend the day with Dad including playing some golf, cooking on the BBQ, or just hanging out on a day where the weather looks to be reaching 25 C.
