Father’s Day in Mexico is a special celebration honoring dads, but have you ever wondered why it doesn’t always fall on the same day? At TV Azteca Quintana Roo, we explain the reason behind the annual change of this date.

When is Father’s Day in Mexico in 2025?

Father’s Day 2025 in Mexico will be celebrated on Sunday, June 15th, following the tradition of commemorating it on the third Sunday of June.

Why doesn’t Father’s Day in Mexico have a fixed date?

Father’s Day in Mexico doesn’t have a fixed date because it was established on the third Sunday of June, a practice imported from the United States in the 20th century.

This tradition, which began in 1910 thanks to Sonora Smart Dodd, seeks to dedicate a flexible day so families can get together on the weekend. In Mexico, it was adopted in the 1950s, driven by businesses and the media.
