Not to alarm anyone, but Father’s Day is this coming Sunday (June 19). We’ve put together a list of local gifts + experiences to help you celebrate the father figure in your life.
🥞 Share a meal for a cause
The Rail Trail Flatbread Company (33 Main St., Hudson) is hosting the annual Father’s Day Flapjacks and Flatbreads Brunch on Sunday. This year’s proceeds will go to the Boys & Girls Club of Metrowest — Hudson Clubhouse fundraising efforts to supply new computers in their technology room. Brunch tickets are available from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.
🍔 For the grill master

The ultimate grill package is $96 and must be ordered by Thurs., June 16 at 8 p.m. for pickup at the Lovejoy Wharf or Everett Taproom locations.
🛍️ Shop ‘til you drop

🍻 Cheers to local beer
Stop by either Lamplighter Brewing Company location to grab a four-pack of the Dad Bod IPA. There are limited quantities of the signature Father’s Day brew this year, so pick up your sample early.
