Black Daddies Club wanted to highlight a few upcoming Fathers-Day events that they whole family can attend, so if you are thinking of a gift to give that special Black father in your life, here are few gift ideas, for events taking place in the Greater Toronto Area for Fathers-Day 2019.

Black Daddies Club recommended Fathers-Day 2019 events in the Greater Toronto Area 

Monday Nights 

(The Fathers-Day Sunday Matinee of the play Monday Nights is brought to you by Luminato and The Black Daddies Club)

Is an interactive basketball and theatre experience like nothing you have ever experience before where basketball meets art and how the game can help us understand ourselves and connect to our community- plus, the audience gets to play the game as part of the show! We ask if you attend, please wear comfortable sneakers.

The $5 promo code is only valid on tickets purchased in advance – either by phone or online (but not as a walk-up on the day of the performance) – for the Sunday June 16^th performance, which starts at 1pm.

The promo code is BDCMN5

The venue is at 291 Lakeshore Blvd East, steps away from the intersection of Lakeshore Blvd East and Parliament Street.

This is a special venue, being designed specifically for this performance and is essentially in a cool warehouse, with bleachers for seats and the stage is a basketball court!

It’s an interactive performance so people should wear their sneakers. They don’t have to “get in the game” but it’s more fun if they do!

And in terms of age, it’s suitable for anyone old enough to play basketball, though some of the audio tracks contain coarse language. 

The Daddy Daughter Fathers Day Brunch

Soul Sessions Entertainment, Crossfield House Productions, and Up From The Roots have come together to create a memorable afternoon, celebrating the bond between fathers and their daughters.

Greetings All,

As Fathers- Day approaches, it is fitting that we at Black Daddies Club hail up the Black fathers who are out there making a constant change in the stereotypes that Black fathers are not engaged parents. To all the Black Fathers out there that are employed or unemployed, incarcerated or free out here in society, or those that might be dealing Children Aid Society or Family courts trying to be there for your children, we see you and your children see you as well as appreciate your efforts. Please remember that each of you matter and you are not alone. 

To the Black fathers who are either straight, disabled, LGBTQ2S+, mixed race, etc. making a difference in your children lives, thank you for your presence.

To the Black mothers and guardians that maybe holding down single parent households, thank you for doing the best that you can, your children appreciate your efforts even if they do not yet have the language or quite know the enormity of your efforts as yet, we appreciate and love each of you.

Have a dope and special Fathers Day
